SAY WHEN

 

you can write it on the wall

you can even jump a tree

you can hold your breath

or get happy and feel free

you can run off at the mouth

if you want a change of pace

but remember to say when

if you want to run the race

 

you can count your fingers

you can twiddle your toes

when the cookie crumbles

a rose is still a rose

you can eat your heart out

 trying to get to first base

but remember to say when

if you want to run the race

 

you can dream all night

you can bar the door

for cryin in the sink

you can sleep on the floor

you can call the doctor

'cause you get lost in space

but remember to say when

if you want to run the race

 

you can walk the tracks

you can even ride the rail

you can fish for compliments

til you get thrown in jail

you can call for seconds

as you fill up your face

but remember to say when

if you want to run the race
