You could have a steam train
If you’d just lay down your tracks
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back
If you’d just lay down your tracks
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back
All you do is call me
I’ll be anything you need
I’ll be anything you need
You could have a big dipper
Going up and down, all around the bends
You could have a bumper car, bumping
This amusement never ends
Going up and down, all around the bends
You could have a bumper car, bumping
This amusement never ends
I want to be your sledgehammer
Why don’t you call my name
Oh, let me be your sledgehammer
This will be my testimony
Why don’t you call my name
Oh, let me be your sledgehammer
This will be my testimony
Show me round your fruitcage
‘Cause I will be your honey bee
Open up your fruitcage
Where the fruit is as sweet as can be
‘Cause I will be your honey bee
Open up your fruitcage
Where the fruit is as sweet as can be
I want to be your sledgehammer
Why don’t you call my name
You’d better call the sledgehammer
Put your mind at rest
I’m going to be the sledgehammer
This can be my testimony
I’m your sledgehammer
Let there be no doubt about it
Why don’t you call my name
You’d better call the sledgehammer
Put your mind at rest
I’m going to be the sledgehammer
This can be my testimony
I’m your sledgehammer
Let there be no doubt about it
Sledge, sledge, sledgehammer
I get it right
I’ve kicked the habit
Shed my skin
This is the new stuff
I go dancing in (we go dancing in)
Oh, won’t you show for me (show for me)
And I will show for you (show for you)
Show for me (show for me), I will show for you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I do mean you (show for me)
Only you
I’ve kicked the habit
Shed my skin
This is the new stuff
I go dancing in (we go dancing in)
Oh, won’t you show for me (show for me)
And I will show for you (show for you)
Show for me (show for me), I will show for you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I do mean you (show for me)
Only you
You’ve been coming through (show for you)
I gonna build that power
Build, build up that power, hey (show for me)
I’ve been feeding the rhythm
I’ve been feeding the rhythm (show for you)
Going to feel that power, build in you (show for me)
Come on, come on, help me do, come on, come on, help me do
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you (show for me)
Build, build up that power, hey (show for me)
I’ve been feeding the rhythm
I’ve been feeding the rhythm (show for you)
Going to feel that power, build in you (show for me)
Come on, come on, help me do, come on, come on, help me do
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you (show for me)
I’ve been feeding the rhythm
I’ve been feeding the rhythm
I’ve been feeding the rhythm
