Get the boss on the telephone

Man I'm not staying around here

On this first day of spring

I saw a carnival truck



Get some clothes on for a change

Cause we're leaving in two minutes

Help me push-start the car

There's a ride, I know you're gonna love it

(Whoo!)



Like a walk down a windy street

Like the day you get your check

I know just what you need

We can go get your little brother



refrain:

It's a fun ride (6x)

But I won't guarantee you

That I won't go back again



Get inside, grab that bat

Watch your hat so it doesn't get blown away

I might stand it myself

Better let me sit next to the door baby okay



Sometimes I'm sitting in the dark

Watching you sleep, listening to the freeway

Look down and tell me you're afraid

I know that you are

I know that you'll never say

That



Pull the plug on that thing

It won't lift you fifty feet

Let the dog out in the yard

Hurry up and go to the bathroom



They better know I'm not coming in

Better things to do than fix brakes

The sun is out but I might bring my coat

I'm gonna win you a stuffed rabbit



Like a ride in a fast car

Like a windy summer night

I know the best thing

And it's better than any other



refrain



Here we go, it's a fun ride

If it gets too much you just let me know

Can't you see your back yard tree

Don't you see what I've been waiting for



Sometimes you're a little girl kicking your legs out

Sometimes you've got ten years on me

I don't have a whole lot for you

I guess I'm not much to your family



Best thing's when you turn around

Look back at the ground

I don't think you ought to try that

I can see the water tower

Rising like the moon over the first national bank



Sometimes you break my heart

I just wanna hold your hand but you run away

Look down and tell me you're afraid

Cause I know that you are

Like I know that you'll never say



It's a fun ride (6x)
