So once I had a little house
In the country babe in the country,
I was living in the country with you,
The man down the creek wore funny little hat
And he wore little buttons all down his back,
And little did he know he really had the girl
And he gave it to the neighbours cat to the neighbours cat,
And the neighbours cat wore the funny little hat all day

Ohh be careful what you wish for
Coz it might come true
Ohh be careful what you dream for
Coz its staring back at you
Oh its staring back at you

And he marched to the beat of the sugarplum fairy drums,
And the fairy drums of the sugarplums
He was marching to
To the rhythm of the rhythm of the tapper tap tap and he built the man in the baseball cap
And no one can tell just quietly without coz you fell down a pavement crack, down a pavement crack
And the pavement crack really leads to hell and back

Ohh be careful what you wish for
Coz it might come true
Ohh be careful what you dream of
Coz its staring back at you
Oh its staring back at you

I play guitar and you play guitar
And you play guitar and I play guitar
I play guitar and you play guitar
And you play guitar and I play harmonica

(harmonica solo)

Ohh be careful what you wish for
Coz it might come true
Hey yeah be careful what you dream of
Coz its staring back at you
Oh its staring back at you

We shouldn't have done that (repeat many)
You shouldn't have done that (repeat many)

Ohh be careful what you wish for
Coz it might come true
Oh it might
Hey yeah be careful what you dream of
Coz its staring back at you
Oh its staring back at you

(harmonica)
