I want to grow up to be a politician
And take over this beautiful land
I want to grow up to be a politician
And be the old U.S. of A.'s number one man
I'll always be tough but I'll never be scary
I want to shoot guns or butter my bread
I'll work in the towns or conservate the prairies
And you can believe the future's ahead [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/byrds/i_wanna_grow_up_to_be_a_politician.html ]
I'll give the young the right to vote as soon as they mature
But spare the rod and spoil the child to help them feel secure
And if I win election day I might give you a job
I'll sign a bill to help the poor to show I'm not a snob
I'll open my door, I'm charging no admission
And you can be sure, I'll give you my hand
I want to grow up to be a politician
And take over this beautiful land
I'll make you glad, you got me in with everything I do
And I'll defend until the end, the old red white and blue
I want to grow up to be a politician
And take over this beautiful land
And take over this beautiful land
And take over this beautiful land
