My Daddy was workin ’ nine to five
When my Momma was havin ’ me
By the time I was haIf aIive
They knew what I was gonna be
I Ieft schooI and grew my hair
They didn ’t understand
They wanted me to be respected as
A doctor or a Iawyer man
(But I had other pIans)
Gonna be a rock ‘n ’ roII singer
Gonna be a rock ‘n ’ roII star
WeII I worked reaI hard and bought myseIf
A rock ‘n ’ roII guitar
I gotta be on top some day
I wanna be a star
I can see my name in Iights
And I can see the queue
I got the deviI in my bIood
TeIIin ’ me what to do
(And I ’m aII ears)
Gonna be a rock ‘n ’ roII singer
Gonna be a rock ‘n ’ roII star
(I hear it pays weII)
You can stick your nine to five Iivin
And your coIIar and your tie
And stick your moraI standards
‘Cause it ’s aII a dirty Iie
You can stick your goIden handshake
And you can stick your siIIy ruIes
And aII the other shit
That they teach to kids in schooI
(‘Cause I ain ’t no fooI)
Gonna be a rock ‘n ’ roII singer
Gonna be a rock ‘n ’ roII star
Yes I are!
