A LITTLE BOY
EIGHT YEARS OLD
IN A SEMI-CIRCLE
EYES AGLOW
OUR TEACHER TOLD US
STORIES EVERY DAY
HUCK FINN
ON THE MISSISSIPPI
FIRE BREATHIN' DRAGONS
WITH MY FRIENDS
WITH ME
FROM OUR HOMEROOM
'A TO THE MILKY WAY
WE WERE LOST
AMONG THE PAGES
AND IN THE VOICE OF
MRS. DAVIS
SHE SAID
WORDS
ARE YOUR WHEELS
TO TAKE YOU
ANYWHERE YOU FEEL
WHERE YOU CAN LAUGH
OR YOU CAN CRY
AND LET
YOUR IMAGINATION FLY
LET IT LEAD YOU
WHERE IT WILL
YOUR MIND IS
AN AUTOMOBILE
AND WORDS
ARE YOUR WHEELS
4 BAR
BREAK
THERE'S AN OLD MAN
WITH ALL HE'S DONE
IN HIS NINETY-EIGHT LAPS
AROUND THE SUN
SOMEHOW
HE NEVER LEARNED
TO READ OR WRITE
AND THERE'S A KIND SOUL
WHO'S HAD
THE PLEASURE
OF HELPING HIM TIE
THE WORDS TOGETHER
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE
TO CHANGE A LIFE
NOW THERE'S A SMILE
ON HIS FACE
AND THERE'S
A YOUNG HEART
STANDING IN HIS PLACE
WORDS
ARE YOUR WHEELS
TO TAKE YOU
ANYWHERE YOU FEEL
WHERE YOU CAN LAUGH
OR YOU CAN CRY
AND LET
YOUR IMAGINATION FLY
LET IT LEAD YOU
WHERE IT WILL
YOUR MIND
IS AN AUTOMOBILE
AND WORDS
ARE YOUR WHEELS
DON'T NEED
A ROCKET SHIP
NO RED BALLOON
TO TAKE A TRIP
THE PAGES ON YOUR
FINGERTIPS ALONE
WILL TAKE YOU
WHERE YOU WANT TO GO
WORDS
ARE YOUR WHEELS
WORDS
ARE YOUR WHEELS
TO TAKE YOU ANYWHERE
YOU FEEL
WHERE YOU CAN LAUGH
AND YOU CAN CRY
LET YOUR IMAGINATION
FLY
LET IT TAKE YOU
WHERE IT WILL
YOUR MIND
IS AN AUTOMOBILE
AND WORDS
ARE YOUR WHEELS
YEAH EH
WORDS
ARE YOUR WHEELS
OH WORDS
ARE YOUR WHEELS
OOH OOH OOH OOH
