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
Like a preacher, a teacher, a baseball player
Those kind of things I just don't care
I want to represent the USA
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
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
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!
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!

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
Like a preacher, a teacher, a baseball player
Those kind of things I just don't care
I want to represent the USA
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
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
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!
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!
