Hop to Another SongI wanna be a billionaire so crazy bad,
buy all of the things I never had.
I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
smilin’ next to Oprah and the Queen.
Oh every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights… yeh.
A different city every night, oh I, I swear,
the world better prepare
for when I’m a billionaire.
Yeh I would have a show like Oprah,
I would be the host of
“Every Day Christmas”,
let me see your wish list.
I’d probably pull up where they’re really needin’ it
and adopt a bunch of babies that ain’t never had gifts.
Give away a few Mercedes like,
“Here, lady, have this”
and last but not least grant somebody their last wish.
It’s been a couple months that I’ve been single, so
you can call me Santa Claus, ready to go-go.
Get it? I’d probably visit where Katrina hit
and for sure do a lot more than FEMA did.
Yeh, can’t forget about me, listen,
everywhere I go I’ma have my own theme music.
Oh every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights… yeh.
A different city every night, oh I, I swear,
the world better prepare
for when I’m a billionaire.
Oh, oh (oh), when I’m a billionaire.
Oh, oh… (let’s go)
I’ll be playing basketball with the president, dunkin’ on his delegates,
then I’ll compliment him on his political etiquette. (good job)
Toss a couple milli’ in the air just for the thrill of it (money)
but keep the fives, twenties, tens, and Bens completely separate.
And yeh, I’ll be in a whole new tax bracket
we in recession but let me take a crack at it.
I’ll probably take whatever’s left and just split it up (there you go)
so everybody that I love can have a couple bucks. (you too)
And not a single tummy around me
would know what hungry was, eatin’ good, sleepin’ soundly.
I know we all have a similar dream –
go in your pocket, pull out your wallet, put it in the air and sing.
I wanna be a billionaire so crazy bad,
buy all of the things I never had.
I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
smilin’ next to Oprah and the Queen.
Oh every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights… yeh.
A different city every night, oh I, I swear,
the world better prepare
for when I’m a billionaire.
Oh, oh (singin’), when I’m a billionaire.
I wanna be a billionaire (uh huh) so crazy bad…
