One day I'm gonna be somebody
One day I'm gonna be rich
I'm gonna say my prayers and work real hard
So that I never have 2 dig a ditch
The only way I'd work at a carwash
Is if I owned the whole damn place
But if gettin' 2 the top means washin' a car
I'd be scrubbin' with a smile on my face
CHORUS:
One day I'm gonna be somebody, gonna stand out in a crowd
One day I'm gonna be somebody, gonna make somebody proud
One day I'm gonna be somebody, gonna stand out in a crowd
One day I'm gonna be somebody, gonna make somebody proud
One day I'm gonna be a star
I'm gonna do whatever it takes
Why should I starve when I could be elsewhere
Makin' what the rich man makes
If I should die before I'm rich
I pray the Lord my soul 2 keep
But if I'm rich before I die
I wanna work cuz nothin' comes cheap
CHORUS
Somebody bring me a mirror so I can look at my cash
(One day I'm gonna be somebody)
Somebody bring me a mirror so I can look at my cash
(One day I'm gonna be somebody)
We don't like new wave! {sarcastic laughter}
