[Verse 1]
I wanna be a lawyer
Doctor or professor
A member of the UMC
I want an air conditioner
Cottage on the river
And all the money I can see
[Verse 2]
I wanna drive a Lincoln
Spend my evenings drinking
The very best of Burgundy
I want a yacht for sailing
Private eye for tailing
My wife if she's a bit too free
Yeah, oh yeah
[Chorus]
I've been told ever since I was a boy
It's what one ought to be
A part of the UMC
[Verse 3]
I want a pool to swim in
Fancy suits to dress in
Some stock in GM and GE
An office in the city
Secretary pretty
Who'll take dictation on my knee
[Verse 4]
I want a paid vacation
Don't want to have to ration
A thing with anyone but me
And if there's war or famine
Promise I'll examine
The details if they're on TV, yeah
[Chorus]
I'll pretend to be liberal
But I'll still support the GOP
As part of the UMC (Oh)
[Outro]
