Lyrics

Hey, hey, you there Tell me how have you been? You could have a steam train If you'd just lay down your tracks You could have an aeroplane flying If you bring your blue sky back All you do is call me I'll be anything you need You could have a big dipper Going up and down, all around the bends You could have a bumper car, bumping This amusement never ends I wanna be your sledgehammer Why don't you call my name? Ah oh, let me be your sledgehammer This will be my testimony Yeah (yeah) Show me 'round your fruit cage 'Cause I will be your honey bee Open up your fruit cage Where the fruit can be sweet as can be I wanna be your sledgehammer Why don't you call my name? Ah, you'd better call the sledgehammer Put your mind at rest I'm gonna be the sledgehammer This can be my testimony Ah, I'm your sledgehammer Let there be no doubt about it (Sledge) (Sledge) (Sledgehammer) I get it right, I kicked the habit (kicked the habit, kicked the habit) Shed my skin (shed my skin) This is the new stuff (this is the new stuff) I go dancing in (we go dancing in) Oh, won't you show for me? (Show for me) I will show for you (show for you) Please, show for me (show for me) Huh, I will show for you Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I do mean you (show for me) Only you, you've been coming through (show for you) I'm gonna build that power, build, build up that power, hey (show for me) I've been feeding the rhythm, huh I've been feeding the rhythm (show for you) Gonna feel that power hey, build in you (show for me) Ah, come on, come on, help me do Come on, come on, help me do (show for you) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you (show for me) I've been feeding the rhythm I've been feeding the rhythm (show for you) It's what we're doing, doing All day and night (show for me) Come on, come on, help me do Come on, come on, help me do (show for you) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you (show for me)
