Hope For The Moon

Someday I’d like to go to Africa
Wander around all day in a sarong
Someday I’d like to go to China
I think the Chinese would like my songs
But for all my talk
I’ve never seen Australia
And I’ve still got some hope for the moon
So many, many things I’ve never done
But maybe I can still do most of them

Ever since I was a kid
I always wondered
Can you travel back in time, yes or no
I’d like to go hang out with cats like Jesus
Kill Hitler, try cheering up Van Gogh
I’d like to go hang out with the young Bob Dylan
Maybe beat him at the horses if not the songs
So many, many things I’ve never done
But maybe I can still do most of them

Namby Pamby, 12th and Granby, Michael Oleowokandi
Regis Philbin, Homer Simpson
Propane salesmen, ahh

I hope that if I love you
You know I love you
If you hear this song and ain’t sure
Assume the best
I hope that I live long enough to witness
One day a year when everyone’s undressed
I hope that my old van can hold together
For maybe one more hundred thousand miles
So many, many things I’ve never done
But maybe I can still do most of them
So many, many things I’ve never done
But maybe I can still do most of them
