Paroles
[Intro]
Hey, hey, you
Tell me how have you been?
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
All you do is call me
I'll be anything you need
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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!
[Verse 4]
Show me 'round your fruitcage
'Cause I will be your honey bee
Open up your fruitcage
Where the fruit that is sweet as can be
[Chorus]
I wanna be your sledgehammer
Why don't you call my name?
Ah! You'd better call the sledgehammer
Put your mind at rest
[Chorus]
I'm gonna be the sledgehammer
This can be my testimony
Ah! I'm your sledgehammer
Let there be no doubt about it
[Bridge]
A sledge, A sledge, A sledgehammer
[Bridge]
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 come dancing in (We go dancing in)
Oh!
Won't you show for me (Show for me)
I will show for you (Show for you)
Show for me (Show for me)
I will show for you
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
I've been feeding the rhythm (Show for you)
Gonna feel that power, hey! Built in you (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)
I've been feeding the rhythm
I've been feeding the rhythm (Show for you)
[Outro]
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
