I do someone to hang around with someone to bang around with I'll
Build us a cool tool shed where we
Can hit those nails right on the head

1): Pat: In this great big world there's got to be somebody
Somewhere just like me the one somebody I
Never see is the somebody somewhere just like me

Pat: Whoa!
Look at this place!
Shelf after shelf after shelf of hammers and hammers and hammers.
I've just touched down on planet me!

Pat: Hammer humor.
Who likes to fix things when they're broke
Squeeze: You mean "

Pat: Hammer grammar.
When my nose taps those big nails down he'll match me pound for
Pound he'll know just how it feels
To have a head that's hard as steel

Somebody somewhere just like me the one somebody I never see is the
Somebody somewhere just like me In this great big world there's got
