I Wanna Grow Up to Be a Politician

I Wanna Grow Up to Be a Politician - The Byrds

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 U S of A 's number one man

I'll always be tough but I'll never be scary

I want to shoot guns or butter my bread

I'll work in the towns or conservate the prairies

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 a bill to help the poor

To show I'm not a snob

I'll open my door I'm charging no admission

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

I want to grow up to be a politician

And take over this beautiful land

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
