One day I'm gonna be somebody One day I'm gonna be rich I'm gonna say my prayers and work real hard So that I never have 2 dig a ditch The only way I'd work at a carwash Is if I owned the whole damn place But if gettin' 2 the top means washin' a car I'd be scrubbin' with a smile on my face CHORUS: One day I'm gonna be somebody, gonna stand out in a crowd One day I'm gonna be somebody, gonna make somebody proud One day I'm gonna be somebody, gonna stand out in a crowd One day I'm gonna be somebody, gonna make somebody proud One day I'm gonna be a star I'm gonna do whatever it takes Why should I starve when I could be elsewhere Makin' what the rich man makes If I should die before I'm rich I pray the Lord my soul 2 keep But if I'm rich before I die I wanna work cuz nothin' comes cheap CHORUS Somebody bring me a mirror so I can look at my cash (One day I'm gonna be somebody) Somebody bring me a mirror so I can look at my cash (One day I'm gonna be somebody) We don't like new wave! {sarcastic laughter}
