Oh boy watch it, here I am
Want the world to tell I'm coming as loud as I can
Told my boss that my job was free
Well I conquer the world indeed
And that's so fine, I make you all mine
I'm just thinking of today, there's a lot I gotta say

Goodbye mama
Na, na, na, na, na
Goodbye mama, goodbye mama
Don't stop me now
Goodbye mama

All my friends are coming with me now
Exactly doing the same, through thick and thin anyhow
There's really something I want you to do
Before the moving fever gonna get you too
Throw away your act, for really that's a fact
I'm just thinking of today, there's a lot I gotta say

Goodbye mama
Na, na, na, na, na
Goodbye mama, goodbye mama
Don't stop me now
Goodbye mama

Listen my friends what I tell you now
The world is in hands of too old a crowd
So make up your mind before it gets too late
And conquer the world yeah, any day
