I want to be a commercial success

so I can be just like that rest

I want to be a commercial success

so I can be just like that rest

fame and fortune and a brand new car

I won't be having 'til they call me a star

I'll buy a Lincoln and a New York bar, so there

 

I want to be in a rock 'n roll band

smokin' dope in the back of a van

I want to be in a rock 'n roll band

smokin' dope in the back of a van

rollin' joints and snortin' cocaine

I'm goin' to Dallas on a big jet plane

I hear 'em screamin' an' shoutin' my name, so there

I want to be an American dream

and make a million while I'm still in my teens

I want to be an American dream

and make a million while I'm still in my teens

I'll comb my hair 'till it's touching my knees

I'll call my banker whenever I please

I'll have a groupie wipe my nose when I sneeze, so there

(sing along fer us)

so I can be just like that rest
