I remember it well
I was just about three
My dad said
"Son what do you want to be?"
It didn't ring no bells but I said
"Daddy I'm a bit too young what do you want from me ?"

I'm much older now
I'm almost a man
I can do anything, you bet I can
Raise a family
Now wouldn't that be grand
So sorry but I got bigger plans, yeah

You can be anything in the world today
Something like a preacher, a teacher
A baseball player
Those kind of things I just don't care
I want to represent the USA

(The American Dream)
Oh as far as the eye oh say can you see
(I want to be)
I want to be the leader of the country

(When I'm President)
Things will be different
We'll start a new government
When I'm President
(When I'm President)
You can be in my cabinet
(Well i'll be your heaven sent)
A president

First things first we're gonna change the rules
Better listen up, all you boys and girls
Your prez says there'll be no after school
So vote for me wouldn't that be cool

(Yeah!) Yeah! (Yeah!) Yeah!

Now I know there's trouble in the Middle East
I'll spend all my money when I stop the Arms Race
All my brothers in the desert
Gonna have themselves a feast
When that's done then we'll start on (world peace)

(So go ask Alice)
Oh you know what he said
(What did he say ?)
Remember, "I wanna be elected"

(When I'm President)
Things will be different
We'll start a new government
When I'm President
(When I'm President)
Say you can be in my cabinet
(Well i'll be your heaven sent)
A president

President, (coughing)
President,
(When I'm President)
A things i'll be different
We'll start a new government
When I'm President
(When I'm President)
Say you can be in my cabinet
(Well i'll be your heaven sent)
When i'm president
Things will be different
I'll rise a new government
Say when I'm President
(When I'm President)
Say you can be in my cabinet
(Well i'll be your heaven sent)
A president, president

"Ya want me to go down there to the houses of harlem with a police man"
