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 to dig a ditch

The only way I'd work at a car wash
Is if I owned the whole damn place
But if gettin' to the top means washin′ a car
I′d be scrubbin' with a smile on my face

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 to keep
But if I′m rich before I die
I wanna work 'cuz nothin′ comes cheap

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

Somebody bring me a mirror
So I can look at my cash
Somebody bring me a mirror
So I can look at my cash

We don't like new wave!
