I Wanna Grow Up To Be A Politician

The Byrds I Want To Grow Up To Be A Politician By R. McGuinn

J. Levy

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 USA'a number one man

I always be tough but I'll never be scary

I want to shoot guns or butter my bread

I want to build towns or conservate the prairie

And you can believe the future's ahead

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 the bill to help the poor to show I'm not a snob

I'll open my doors I'm chargin' no admission

And you can be sure I'll be glad to give you my hand

I want to grow up to be a politician

And take over this beautiful land

C G G#F Em

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
