The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I wanna grow up to be a politician

and take over this beautiful land

I wanna grow up to be a politician

and be the old USofA´s number one man

I´ll always be tough, I´ll never be scary

I want to shoot guns or butter my bread

I´ll work on 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´ll sign the bill to help the poor

to show I´m not snob

I´ll open my door, I´m chargin´ no admission

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

I´ll be glad you got me in everything I do

and I´ll defend until the end

the old red, white and blue

I want to grow up...
