Song 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 ev'rything?

Look at this trove, treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Lookin' 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
Whad'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 your world

What would I give, if I could live
Outta 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 o' swimmin'
Ready to stand

And I'm 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 the shore up above?
Out of the sea, wish I could be

Part of that world, part of that world
Part of that world, part of your world
Part of your world

I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see 'em dancin'
Walkin' around on those
Whad'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 your world
