I bought me a President, indeed I did (x3)
        It only cost me a quarter billion dollars $$$

And the Presidents a puppet, how’d ya do, how’d ya do (x2)
He’ll do anything I ask him to
        It only cost me a quarter billion dollars $$$

A quarter billion people gonna be unemployed (x3)
        It only cost me a quarter billion dollars $$$

The poor will go hungry but I don’t care (x3)
It only cost me a quarter billion dollars $$$

You’ll all be in a pickle, oh yes you will (3) … and it won’t be dill
        And you won’t have a quarter billion dollars $$$

Quarter billion here, quarter billion there (x2)
Quarter billion here, Hey life ain’t fair
        You may be outta money, but I don’t care

Cause the law doesn’t matter to a guy like me
Cause I got more millions than the deep blue sea
They’ll save my ass ‘til eternity
‘Cause you can’t beat a quarter billion dollars $$$

I bought me a President, indeed I did (x3)
        Only cost me a quarter billion dollars $$$
