I WANT TO BE RICH

I want to be rich

Cause I’m tired of being poor

I want a brass-initialed knocker

Hanging on my door

I want satin sheets

So I can slide from my brass bed

I want a crystal chandelier

Hanging o’er my head

I want to own a Cadillac, and

A Mercedes Bens

And I’ll save my Rolls Royce

For partying with my friends

I want a chauffeur,

A butler, and a maid

And a day off a year

For my personal parade

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Oh, it’s going to be fantastic

With the money that I earn

I’ll have money for spending

And money to burn

Sittin in the desert

In this dirty old shack

Once my dreams come true

I ain't ever coming back

~~*~~

I want to own a corporation

So I can be the one to hire

Sittin behind a walnut desk

No one can get me fired

I want rubies on my fingers

And diamonds round my wrist

So when I walk into a room

There’s no chance that I’ll be missed

I want a mink coat

To wear out on the town

And a mansion in the valley

With no neighbors to be found

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Oh, it’s going to be fantastic

With the money that I earn

I’ll have money for spending

And money to burn

Sittin in the desert

In this dirty old shack

Once my dreams come true

I ain't ever coming back

~~*~~

Yah! once my dreams come true

I ain't ever

Coming

Back!
