lyrics

Some people want kids or a husband or wife
But there’s only one thing I want out of life
I want you to see me all over the place
I want everyone you know to value my face
I will end up in your wash like Washington
Move over Ben Franklin cause here I come
When you see my smile you will feel affection
Even though I’ll have a kind of green complexion

I want my face on the money
I want my face on the hundred dollar bill
I want my face on the money
I want my face on the hundred dollar bill

I'm gonna overcome challenges every day
I’m gonna study hard so I will get straight A’s
I’m gonna get so smart I’ll be the cream of the crop
I’ll arrest every problem like a super boss cop
I'm gonna ride that awesome popularity train
I'm gonna work so hard I’m gonna win the campaign
I'm gonna be a White House resident
Cause someday I'm gonna be president

I want my face on the money
I want my face on the hundred dollar bill
I want my face on the money
I want my face on the hundred dollar bill

I'm gonna end world hunger cause what's the use
I’m gonna get rid of homelessness and child abuse
I'm gonna get rid of all the unpopular taxes
So people's paychecks can be at their maxes
I'm gonna do some research and get some answers
I'm gonna find a cure for every kind of cancer
I'm gonna make clean energy better than before
I'm gonna make world peace so there's no more war

I want my face on the money
I want my face on the hundred dollar bill
I want my face on the money
I want my face on the hundred dollar bill

Step aside Ben
I’m moving in!
