I could be a teacher and teach grade school
I could be a doctor -- That would be cool!
They both sound great but they're
Just not right for me
You see

I'm gonna sing a little song and play my guitar
'Cause when I grow up, I wanna be
A rock-n-roll star

A rock-n-roll star
A rock-n-roll star
I'm gonna sing a little song and play my guitar
'Cause when I grow up, I wanna be
A rock-n-roll star

I could be an engineer and drive a train. (Choo, choo!)
I could be a pilot and fly a big plane (Whoo!)
They both sound great but they're
Just not right for me (They're not right)
You see (You see)

I'm gonna sing a little song and play my guitar
'Cause when I grow up, I wanna be
A rock-n-roll star
A rock n roll star
A rock n roll star
He's gonna be-a, a rock-n-roll star
I'm gonna sing a little song and play my guitar
'Cause when I grow up, I wanna be
A rock-n-roll star

Evеrybody's dancing to the beat
Jump up on your feet, wherеver you are
'Cause now it's time for me to play
M-m-m-m-m-my guitar!

[Guitar solo]

A rock n roll star
A rock n roll star
He's gonna be-a, a rock-n-roll star

I'm gonna sing a little song and play my guitar
'Cause when I grow up, I wanna be
A rock-n-roll...

When he grows up, he wants to be
A rock-n-roll...

'Cause when I grow up, I wanna be
A rock-n-roll star!
