I remember it well, I was just about three

My dad said, "Son, what do you want to be?"

It didn't ring no bell, 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



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

I'll be your heaven sent

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, now wouldn't that be cool



(Yeah), yeah

(Yeah), yeah



Now I know there's trouble in the Middle East

I'll spend all the money when I stop the Arms Race

On 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

You can be in my cabinet

I'll be your heaven sent president...huh!



(SOLO)



President

President



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

I'll be your heaven sent...



I'm President!

Things will be different

I'd like a new government

When I'm president



When I'm president

Say, you can be in my cabinet

I'll be your heaven sent president...oh,yeah!



Not gonna do it!
