Lyrics
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?
Look at this trove, treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Looking around here, you'd think
"Sure, she's got everything"
I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
You want thingamabobs? I got twenty
But who cares? No big deal
I want more
I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see 'em dancin'
Walkin' around on those—
What d'ya call 'em?
Oh, feet!
Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumpin', dancin'
Strollin' along down a—
What's that word again? Street
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
What would I give if I could live
Out of these waters
What would I pay to spend a day
Warm on the sand
Betcha on land, they understand
Bet they don't reprimand their daughters
Bright young women
Sick of swimmin'
Ready to stand
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?
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
