Ahhhh

Nine years old, took a rocket to the moon

In a cardboard box, told 'em, "I'ma see you soon"

I'm onto bigger, onto better

Snap a picture, hit the clicker

I'll be on the television

Nineteen years old, didn't get no sleep

Had a spiral notebook and a pocket full of dreams

Onto bigger, onto better

Ain't a quitter under pressure

Making moves like Bobby Fischer

I could be someone

When I grow up

I'm gonna be a big deal

Be a big shot

Don't think too small, don't put me in a box

I'm a big deal, I'm a big shot

Make 'em stop and say

I'm gonna be a big deal

Be a big shot

Don't think too small, don't put me in a box

Doubt me? Just sit back and watch

Make 'em stop and say

Try to stay loose, but your chest gets tight

Call a white flag truce, you could waive one tonight

But you give it another minute

'Cause you're that one in a million

Longshot singin'

I could be someone

When I grow up

I'm gonna be a big deal

Be a big shot

Don't think too small, don't put me in a box

I'm a big deal, I'm a big shot

Make 'em stop and say

I'm gonna be a big deal

Be a big shot

Don't think too small, don't put me in a box

Doubt me? Just sit back and watch

Make 'em stop and say

I've got one, two, three more lines on my face than I did

And I wish that I could go back and talk to that kid

Say, "You're gonna be a big deal

Be a big shot

Don't think too small, let 'em put you in a box

You're a big deal, you're a big shot"

Make 'em stop and say

I'm gonna be a big deal

Be a big shot

Don't think too small, don't put me in a box

I'm a big deal, I'm a big shot

Make 'em stop and say

I'm gonna be a big deal

Be a big shot

Don't think too small, don't put me in a box

Doubt me? Just sit back and watch

Make 'em stop and say
