Well, I've been doodling on this notepad   And I been taking telephone calls   I can tell 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      Now, all of my paychecks aren't worth   The paper they're printed on   I get 'em Friday   But 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   Twenty-six times a year, add 'em up   When I fly to exotic places   My jet will be a Lear   I'll need several secretaries   Just to jot down notes   I'll 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 I'll have people workin' under me   And this lousy job I'll toss   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 chauffeur,   TV, telephone, and booze   Tinted windows so the common folk   Can't see me here inside   Maybe every now and then for fun   I'll give some old coot a ride      Then maybe I'll slip him   A thousand dollar bill   Then 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 enough   Nope not 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 I'll 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   I'll buy up the whole company   Shave my face, and grin and smile   And then I'll 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-Manchu   Keep a row of specimen jars   Get other people to work for me well   Maybe I'll buy the planet Mars, and   Build an amusement park up there   Better than old Walt's place   You'll have to be a millionaire to go   We'll smoke cigars and lounge in lace   Talk the talk of businessmen   And bosses that we are   So here's to me the drinks are free    'Cause I just bought this bar      Yeah, yeah, I wanna be a boss   I wanna be a boss, boss, boss!   Some kinda intergalactic boss!
