Legendary Harry Nilsson lyrics

Spoken:

The other day, I met a girl named Joy
She said, “Come here, I’m going to make you my Joy Boy”
Well, things went good, things went bad
Now every time I think of Joy it makes me sad

It makes me . . . sad

The other day, I met a girl named Joy
She said, “Roy, I’m going to make you my Joy Boy”
Well, she took me for a ride, sort of a joy ride

You can climb a mountain
You can swim the sea
You can jump into the fire
But you'll never be free

You can shake me up
Or I can break you down
Whoa-o-o-o-
Whoa-o-o-o-
We can make each other happy (4X)

{repeat entire twice more}

Bang, bang, shoot em' up, destiny
Bang, bang, shoot em' up to the moon
Bang, bang, shoot em' up one, two, three
(One, two, three, four!)

I wanted to be a spaceman
That's what I wanted to be
But now that I am a spaceman
Nobody cares about me

Hey mother earth
Won't 'cha bring me back down
Safely to the sea
But 'round and around and around and around
Is all she ever say to me

Dreams are nothing more than wishes

and a wish is just a dream

you wish to come true, woo woo

If only I could have a puppy
I'd call myself so very lucky

just to have some company

to share a cup of tea with me

I'd take my puppy everywhere

La, la, la-la I wouldn't care

and we would stay away from crowds

and signs that said no dogs allowed

oh we, I know he'd never bite me
