I been doodlin' on this notepad
And I been takin' telphone calls
I cantell this job's at the end of the line
And I'm ready for the fall
But I been watchin' the boss carefully
And he always seems to  be havin' a ball
And then I scratch my head and wonder
Why I'm down here and he's up the hall

All of my paychecks aren't worth the paper they're printed on
I get 'em Friday and Monday they're all gone
There must be some way to change my situation
It's time that I took up a brand new vocation

I wanna take a two week vacation 26 times a year
(Add 'em up)
When I fly to exotic places my jet will be a Leer
I'll need severl secretaries just to jot down notes
I'll wear Gucci loafers and expensive shirts
And blue, executive exotic coats

CHORUS
I, I said I wanna be a boss

Well I'll drive in fancy cars
Well, no maybe I'll just cruise
With a limo and a chauffer, TV, telephone and booze
Tinted windows so  the common folk can't see me inside
Maybe every now and then for fun I'll give some old coot a ride
Then maybe I'll slip 'em a thousand dollar bill
The he'll smile and shake my hand
And I'll put him in my will
I'm gonna count up all my widgets and digits and all my stuff
I'll make millions in a day but it'll never be nough
Nope...not enough

CHORUS

Now if I find a product I like
I'll buy up  the whole company
Then I'll shave my face and grin and smile and sell it on TV
And everyone will know me
I'll be more famous than Howard Hughes
I'll grow a long beard and watch "Ice Station Zebra" in the nude
And grow my nails like Fu Man Chu
And keep a row of specimen jars
Get other people to work for me
Wellno...maybe I'll buy the planet Mars
And build an amusement park up  therre
Better than old Walt's place
You'll have to be a millionaire to go
We'll smoke cigars and lounge in lace
And talk the talk of businessmen and basses that we are
So here's to me the drinks are free 'cause I just bought this bar

CHORUS
