Notes
"Silver Star" is the opening song on the Four Seasons album Who Loves You. As was the case of all the songs on the LP, it was written by Bob Gaudio and Judy Parker and produced by Gaudio. Drummer Gerry Polci sang lead. Frankie Valli's contribution was limited to harmony vocals, since he was gradually losing his hearing in the 1970s due to otosclerosis. An operation restored most of Valli's hearing in the 1980s
In my dream, I'm a western hero Riding my Palomino Silver star, there you are, silver star Got my gun and my white ten gallon Bigger than life, I reckon Silver star, there you are, silver star Silver star, silver star In my dream I make much Dinero Chasin' the Bandelleros Silver star, there you are, silver star But he, he gave me a nine to five, honey Ain't livin' but I'm alive Sure cut me down to size He gave me the second prize I'm layin' it on the line, honey I'll let it go by this time Next time around, I'll swear Gonna get me somewhere, somewhere In my dream, I'm a desert hero Bigger than Valentino Silver star, there you are, silver star Leading ladies in warm embraces Ecstasy on their faces Silver star, there you are, silver star
