A woman in a dress
Tries to catch my eyes
She's wearing yellow tights
I just walk on by

Nothing on my mind
Everything is fine
I'd like to fly around the world
But I haven't got a dime

I'm in love with life
Like a vase loves a knife
If I give you my hand
Maybe you'll understand

If you see me around
Give a smile not a frown
But if you don't like my mouth
I will stick my tongue right out

The cottage of my dreams
Will be shades of blue
A warm and friendly place
And an ocean view

Friends who come in tears
I will bring them cheer
Cooking up a storm or two
If I still remember how

I walk the avenue
I'll wait until it's dark
Sitting in the park
Just for a while

Make the children smile
How I wish the lights would dim
With a snap at my command
