lyrics
When I was just a little baby buggy bumper
Daddy bought a ticket to the airshow
And I wished that I was flippin' like a fighter pilot
Way above the world somewhere
Perfect teeth, perfect hair
And I wished that I was flippin' like a fighter pilot
Way above the world somewhere
Frog on a lilypad, pocket full of river sand
Heart like a bucket full of dewdrops
You can see the rocks in the water
And the water trippin' over the rocks
Easy breeze, easy chair
And I wished that I was driftin' in a riverboat
Captain of the river somewhere
Singer on a jukebox, mouth full of pop rocks
Mama's belly up on the barstool
She said you can be anybody that you wanna
Don't you let 'em turn you into a fool
I believe, I declare
And I wished that I was a singer in a jukebox
Lightin' up a diner somewhere
Daddy bought a ticket to the airshow
And I wished that I was flippin' like a fighter pilot
Way above the world somewhere
Perfect teeth, perfect hair
And I wished that I was flippin' like a fighter pilot
Way above the world somewhere
Frog on a lilypad, pocket full of river sand
Heart like a bucket full of dewdrops
You can see the rocks in the water
And the water trippin' over the rocks
Easy breeze, easy chair
And I wished that I was driftin' in a riverboat
Captain of the river somewhere
Singer on a jukebox, mouth full of pop rocks
Mama's belly up on the barstool
She said you can be anybody that you wanna
Don't you let 'em turn you into a fool
I believe, I declare
And I wished that I was a singer in a jukebox
Lightin' up a diner somewhere
