They Might Be Giants - I've Got A World That Swings lyrics

As written by Lil Mattis & Louis Yule Brown for the movie "The Nutty Professor" with Jerry Lewis

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

We've got a world that swings!
