Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If only I could make my father understand
I just don't see how a world that makes such wonderful things
Could be so bad
[Verse 2]
Look at this stuff, isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has everything?
[Verse 3]
Look at this trove, treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Lookin' around here, you'd think
Sure, she's got everything
[Verse 4]
I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty
I've got who's-it's and what's-it's galore
You want thing-a-ma-bobs?
I've got twenty
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more
[Verse 5]
I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see 'em dancin'
Walkin' around on those
What do ya call 'em?
Oh, feet
[Verse 6]
Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumping, dancing
Strollin' along down the
What's that word again?
Street
[Verse 7]
Up where they walk
Up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin' free, wish I could be
Part of that world
[Verse 8]
What would I give
If I could live out of these waters
What would I pay
To spend a day warm on the sand
[Verse 9]
Betcha on land
They understand
Bet they don't reprimand their daughters
Bright young women
Sick of swimmin'
Ready to stand
[Verse 10]
And ready to know what the people know
Ask 'em my questions and get some answers
What's a fire? And why does it
What's the word? Burn
[Verse 11]
When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love
Love to explore that shore up above
Out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of that world
