Wanna Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star - Eddie Money

Well, ever since I was young, I'd sing in my home
Those crazy songs I heard on the radio
Rock 'n' roll melodies drove me frantically
Soon I would be tapping on the table

My mother would jump and shout
She'd say, "What's that noise about?"
And finally turn that dial back to her station
But I knew right then I'd turn that dial back again, and I
Knew right then I would make it

'Cause I wanna be a rocker
Wanna be a rocker
Wanna be a rock 'n' roll star

Yes, I wanna be a rocker
Wanna be a rocker
Wanna be a rock 'n' roll star

When the DJ say
"My music coming your way," I always waited
Soon, I'd be shaking my hips and doing the Elvis twist
Dreaming 'bout the day I would make it

'Cause I wanna be a rocker
Wanna be a rocker
Wanna be a rock n roll star

Yeah, I wanna be a rocker
Wanna be a rocker
Wanna be a rock n roll star

I wanna be a rock 'n' roll star
I wanna drive a big black car
I wanna be a rock 'n' roll star

No, no, no, no, no

My mother says I'm lazy
My girlfriend thinks I'm crazy
But I want to be a rock 'n' roll star

'Cause I want a mansion on the hills
I want to burn a thousand dollar bill
I wanna be a rock 'n' roll star

Every night before I go to sleep, you know
I pray to God, say
"Oh God, dear God,
Me and the boys been working so very hard"

"Oh God
Dear God up in heaven
I been working so very hard"
Now, now, now

If I worked in a hospital
I'd wanna be the doctor
If I was in the army, whoa
I'd wanna be the general

If I worked on a garbage truck, well
I'd wanna be the driver, yeah
And since I been playing for so many years
I tell you right now, I'm gonna play:
Madison Square Garden

Alright, let's give it to 'em - right now

Wanna be a rocker
Wanna be a rocker
Wanna be a rock 'n' roll star

Oh, I wanna be a rocker
Wanna be a rocker
Wanna be a rock 'n' roll star

Oh, I wanna be a rocker
Wanna be a rocker
Wanna be a rock 'n' roll star

Oh, I wanna be a rocker
Wanna be a rocker
Wanna be a rock 'n' roll star
