My Daddy was workin' nine to five
When my Momma was havin' me
By the time I was half alive

They knew what I was gonna be
But I left school and grew my hair
They didn't understand

They wanted me to be respected as
A doctor or a lawyer man
(But I had other plans)


Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll star

Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll
A rock 'n' roll star


Well I worked real hard and bought myself
A rock 'n' roll guitar

I gotta be on top some day
I wanna be a star
I can see my name in lights

And I can see the queue
I got the devil in my blood
Tellin' me what to do

And I'm all ears

Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer

Gonna be a rock 'n' roll star
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll

A rock 'n' roll star

(I hear it pays well)

Well you can stick your nine to five livin'
And your collar and your tie
And stick your moral standards

Cause it's, all a dirty lie
You can stick your golden handshake
And you can stick your silly rules

And all the other %#@!
That you teach to kids in school
Cause I ain't no fool


Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll star

Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll
A rock 'n' roll star


Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll star

Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll
A rock 'n' roll star

Yes I are
