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 that would not be grand
I'm so sorry, but I got bigger plans
You can be anything in the world today
A baseball player, those kind of things
I just don't care, I want to represent the U.S.A.
In the American dream
I'm as far as the eye, oh, say, can you see
I'm gonna 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
Say you can be my cabinet
When I'm president
I'm president
First things first, we're gonna change the rules
Better listen up, all you boys and girls
When I'm president, there'll be no after school
So vote for me, now, wouldn't that be cool?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And now I know there's trouble in the Middle East
I spent all my money when I stopped the arms race
All my brothers in the desert gonna have those other feasts
When I'm gone, they will start a world peace
So go ask him
Oh, you know what he said
What did he say?
I'm gonna be elected
When I'm president
Things will be different
We'll start a new government
