in the summertime
|
on the sidewalk here
|
I see a nickel. well, I ...
|
I guess I'm happening
|
|
is there ... is there something special
|
you'd like me to buy you?
|
in bold colours, maybe?
|
anything you like
|
you can be happening, too
|
|
good to go crazy just to go
|
good to go crazy just to show
|
that we're alive (and that we know)
|
|
it takes two days to get there by train
|
two days! two days to get there by boat
|
it takes forever if you go by inertia
|
no time if you don't believe in time
|
|
good to go crazy just to go
|
good to go just to go
|
life is a big place
|
makes me wonder
|
makes me want to know
|
|
lots of legs and lots of arms
|
a tray ... a tray of beer goes sailing by
|
up there somewhere
|
a great band is playing
|
they're hot - everybody's hot
|
everybody's dancing tonight
|
|
would you say this is high enough? no.
|
what about that ... is that better? no.
|
stand on my shoulders...
|
any improvement?
|
okay, okay - what can we try?
|
the only thing left is...
|
to maybe...fly higher...higher... bye!!
|
|
summer in the Yukon in the land of the midnight sun
|
nuggets hit the counter
|
would you like a beer?
|
I'll buy this round
|
|
it's the top...it's the top of the world up here
|
is it high enough for you
|
"I want to take you higher"
|
have you...uh...
|
decided yet about the hat?
|
|
life is a big place
|
makes me wonder
|
makes me want to know
|
