Stan Ridgway - I Wanna Be a Boss текст песни

Well, Ive been doodling on this notepad

And I been taking telephone calls

I can tell this jobs at the end of the line

And Im 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 Im down here and hes up the hall

Now, all of my paychecks arent worth

The paper theyre printed on

I get em friday

But monday theyre all gone

There must be some way to change my situation

Its time that I took up a brand new vocation

I wanna take a two-week vacation

Twenty-six times a year, add em up

When I fly to exotic places

My jet will be a lear

Ill need several secretaries

Just to jot down notes

Ill wear gucci loafers

And expensive shirts

And blue, executive, exotic coats

Chorus:

cause i, I said I wanna be a boss

(I wanna be, I wanna be)

I, I said I wanna be a boss

And Ill have people workin under me

And this lousy job Ill toss

I, I said I wanna be a boss

Well, Ill drive in fancy cars

Well, no, maybe Ill just cruise

With a limoccand a chauffeur,

Tv, telephone, and booze

Tinted windows so the common folk

Cant see me here inside

Maybe every now and then for fun

Ill give some old coot a ride

Then maybe Ill slip him

A thousand dollar bill

Then hell smile and shake my hand

And Ill put him in my will

Im gonna count up all my widgets

And digits, and all my stuff

Ill make millions in a day

But itll never be enough

Nopeccnot enough!

Chorus:

cause i, I said I wanna be a boss

And I just wanna take a four-hour lunch

And eat a steak with a1 sauce

I, I said I wanna be a boss

And Ill buy up every stock there is

From itt to doctor ross

I, I said I wanna be a boss

(I wanna be, I wanna be)

Now if I find a product I like

Ill buy up the whole company

Shave my face, and grin and smile

And then Ill sell it on tv

And everyone will know me

Ill be more famous than howard hughes

Ill grow a long beard and watch

Ice station zebra in the nude

And grow my nails like fu-manchu

Keep a row of specimen jars

Get other people to work for meccwell

Maybe Ill buy the planet mars, and

Build an amusement park up there

Better than old walts place

Youll have to be a millionaire to go

Well smoke cigars and lounge in lace

Talk the talk of businessmen

And bosses that we are

So heres to meccthe drinks are freecc

cause I just bought this bar

Yeahccyeah, I wanna be a boss

I wanna be a boss, boss, boss!

Some kinda intergalactic boss!
