Ride the Ride

Little Tommy's standing down At the old Ferris wheel They won't let him ride it They don't know how he feels You got to be so high Tommy Before you ride that ride You got to be so high Tommy Before you ride that ride He said, well may be some day When I'm big and tall I won't have to ride the pony Out in front of the mall I will ride the roller coaster Like the big kids do And I won't have to listen To you tell me You got to be so high Tommy Before you ride that ride I love the girl from my hometown But when it comes to lovin' She always brings me down You got to show me the money honey Before you ride that ride You got to show me the money honey Before you ride that ride Well may be some day When I've got it all I won't have to pin up posters On my bedroom wall I will find me a woman Who will love me for free And I won't have to listen To you tell me You got to show me the money honey Before you ride that ride Now when you go to see The Snake Oil Medicine show You better see the Doctor before you go You got to be so high buddy Before you ride that ride You got to be so high buddy Before you ride that ride And when George He writes his final verse He will become Worpexter Cosmoverse And as they're dragging him Off to the funny farm He'll say, "I didn't mean no harm" You just got to be so high buddy Before you ride that ride
