Up at dawnin', sleepy and yawnin' Still the taste of wine Then I remember you're mine and I've got a world that's fine
What's before me, routines that bore me Punch the clock at eight But what a lucky guy I am I've got a world that's great.
Atom bombs, Cap Canaveral and false alarms Half the universe is up in arms So I flip a little too, until I'm holding you.
What's the hassle, I'll buy the castle We can live like Kings If we're together forever I've got a world that You've got a world that We'ver got a world that swings!
You've got me acting like a square out on a picnic Wearing a smile each time we touch But to split the square scene, I decline I've got a world that's fine!
I'm hip, you're hip Every chick even her cousin Knows that your style is much too much Still you like to play it cool and straight I've got a world that's great!
Walking and talking in the sun Staying awake and list'ning to the sounds Talking and planning spinning fun Rides to places out of bounds...
I'd like to take you Through this wild wonderful venture Fly like a kite through space No strings I'm not gonna lose that bell that rings I've got a world that You've got a world that
