I Wanna Be A Boss Lyrics - Partyball - Stan Ridgway

Well, I've been doodling on this notepad 

And I been taking telephone calls 

I can tell this job's at the end of the line 

And I'm ready for the fall 

But I been watchin' the boss carefully 

And he always seems to be havin' a ball 

And then I scratch my head and wonder 

Why I'm down here and he's up the hall 

Now, all of my paychecks aren't worth 

The paper they're printed on 

I get 'em friday 

But monday they're all gone 

There must be some way to change my situation 

It's time that I took up a brand new vocation 

I wanna take a two-week vacation 

Twenty-six times a year, add 'em up 

When I fly to exotic places 

My jet will be a lear 

I'll need several secretaries 

Just to jot down notes 

I'll wear gucci loafers 

And expensive shirts 

And blue, executive, exotic coats 

Chorus: 

'cause i, I said I wanna be a boss 

(I wanna be, I wanna be) 

I, I said I wanna be a boss 

And I'll have people workin' under me 

And this lousy job I'll toss 

I, I said I wanna be a boss 

Well, I'll drive in fancy cars 

Well, no, maybe I'll just cruise 

With a limoccand a chauffeur, 

Tv, telephone, and booze 

Tinted windows so the common folk 

Can't see me here inside 

Maybe every now and then for fun 

I'll give some old coot a ride 

Then maybe I'll slip him 

A thousand dollar bill 

Then he'll smile and shake my hand 

And I'll put him in my will 

I'm gonna count up all my widgets 

And digits, and all my stuff 

I'll make millions in a day 

But it'll never be enough 

Nopeccnot enough! 

Chorus: 

'cause i, I said I wanna be a boss 

And I just wanna take a four-hour lunch 

And eat a steak with a1 sauce 

I, I said I wanna be a boss 

And I'll buy up every stock there is 

From itt to doctor ross 

I, I said I wanna be a boss 

(I wanna be, I wanna be) 

Now if I find a product I like 

I'll buy up the whole company 

Shave my face, and grin and smile 

And then I'll sell it on tv 

And everyone will know me 

I'll be more famous than howard hughes 

I'll grow a long beard and watch 

Ice station zebra in the nude 

And grow my nails like fu-manchu 

Keep a row of specimen jars 

Get other people to work for meccwell 

Maybe I'll buy the planet mars, and 

Build an amusement park up there 

Better than old walt's place 

You'll have to be a millionaire to go 

We'll smoke cigars and lounge in lace 

Talk the talk of businessmen 

And bosses that we are 

So here's to meccthe drinks are freecc 

'cause I just bought this bar 

Yeahccyeah, I wanna be a boss 

I wanna be a boss, boss, boss! 

Some kinda intergalactic boss!
