Waitresses - I Could Rule The World lyrics

(Chris Butler, Tin Huey Music (c) 1978)

Jealousy, Jealousy

Got a dream for a dream

Out of tin cans & string

Build it, build it

But I need a few things

Step up to the counter

Hand the man a sheet

"Everything's on back order

Already obsolete. But we got..."

[Mars Williams does amazing things on saxaphone]

I could rule the world

If I could only get the parts

It's a beautiful idea

It'll be a first

A thousand and one uses

And easy on the purse

Army surplus army

Bits of this, bits of that

String balls, string balls

Scrap pack rat

[Mars Williams does things on saxaphone you wouldn't think were possible]

The concept is so simple

Ahead of its time

But what I need they don't make

And what I want is hard to find

But you got...

I could rule the world

If I could only get the parts
