If I had a dollar, if I had a cent
|
I would play most anywhere if it would pay my rent
|
I'd be livin' on the downside in my old apartment
|
For the rest of my days
|
People always ask why the world is on the run
|
People like you and like me
|
Is it really true you can really never win
|
Movin' to the upside, tell me when does the fun begin
|
|
Deep as the see and as wild as the weather
|
We will go just you and me to pick wild strawberries together
|
Or be livin' on our own, in a cabin in a meadow
|
Or meanderin' alone, we can face the world forever or we'll
|
Hit the bounding main or be on a railroad train
|
Hit the boundless tide or be on a steamboat ride
|
Hit the bounding main or be on a midnight plane
|
Hit the pounding tide or be on a rainbow ride
|
|
People often ask me just the way it must feel
|
To be standing up here with you down there
|
Let it now be known that throughout all of these years
|
I have been wearing polka dot underwear
|
|
Deep as the sea and as wild as the weather
|
We will go just you and me to gather crabapples together
|
And be wandering along toward a cabin in the meadow
|
Or meandering alone, we can face the world together or we'll
|
Hit the bounding main or be on a railroad train
|
Hit the boundless tide or be on a steamboat ride
|
Hit the bounding main or be on a midnight plane
|
Hit the pounding tide or be on a rainbow ride
|
|
People always ask why the world is on the slide
|
People like you and like me
|
Is it really true there will be no peace left to hide
|
Turning to the upside, when does the fun begin
|
|
Deep as the sea and as wild as the weather
|
We might go just you and me to pick wild strawberries together
|
Or be livin' on our own in a cabin in a meadow
|
And the cows will come home
|
They can face the world forever and we'll
|
Hit the bounding main or be on a railroad train
|
Hit the boundless tide or be on a steamboat ride
|
Hit the bounding main or be on a midnight plane
|
Hit the pounding tide or be on a rainbow ride
|
Hit the bounding main or be on a midnight plane
|
