(앨범: What Time Is It? - 1982)

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 getting to the top means washing a car, I'd be scrubbing 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, making 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 'cause nothing 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
