Lyrics
|
you could have a steam train
if you'd just lay down your tracks you could have an aeroplane flying if you bring your blue sky back all you do is call me I'll be anything you need you could have a big dipper going up and down, all around the bends you could have a bumper car, bumping this amusement never ends I want to be your sledgehammer ... |
