Ya-tya-da tya tya da tya tya da tya
Ta dee-da-dumb
On a desert island, a magic yours and my land
Everyday's a holiday with you
Under a blue sky dear we could get an idea
Of what our two lips were meant to do
Through love's promised land dear
All our lives I know believe me
Happiness would be ours if for only three hours
On a desert island in my dreams
Ya-tya-da tya tya da tya tya da tya
Ta dee-da-dumb
Ya-tya-da tya tya da tya tya da tya
Ta dee-da-dumb (etc.)
Strolling beside you hand in hand we'll go
Through love's promise land dear
All our lives I know sincerely
Every gal and guy can have a desert island
If they are in love as much as we
Happiness will be ours if for only three hours
On a desert island in my dreams...
On a desert island in my dreams

Ba da da dum
Ba-dada dada dum
Ba-dada dum ba dum
I'm only working at this pizza hut
To support my way through college
Selling chicken wings and breadsticks
To our fatass clientele
It's not as if I plan on working here forever
'Cause one day it's gonna be
My ideas I'm gonna sell!
Wouldn't you wanna buy a car that has jet wings?
Or how about a spacecraft that'll warp you through time?
Wouldn't you wanna own a piece of tomorrow?
I'm gonna be the one to show you
'Cause I'm the one the vision flows through
And though you may not see what I see
I'm a boy with dreams!
Ba-da da dum
Dum ba deedee-deedee dum
Ba dum
When I was eight years old
I would show my mom inventions
Of things I knew that one day I would think up, and create
I would draw up plans
And I would sketch things out
These models and designs
That I knew were in my fate THAT'S when I knew I'd build a car that has jet wings!
That's when I thought of spacecrafts
That'll warp you through time!
That's when I knew I'd own
A piece of tomorrow
I'm gonna be the one to show you
'Cause I'm the one the vision flows through
And though you may not see what I see
I'm a boy with dreams!
Dada da dum bum bee-dee
Deedee bada dum bum!
What about ice cubes that never melt?
Or playing cards that deal themselves?
What about clothing that never needs to be washed?
Or keys that beep every time they're lost?
What about a light-switch that was voice controlled?
Or glassware that kept your soft drink cold?
A computer that typed any words you spoke?
Or a pencil set that never broke?
And there's always that car that has jet wings
It could jump without the netting
'Cause my heart and guts are betting
That just like that car...
I'm gonna fly so far!!~
I'm gonna give the world a car that has jet wings!
And show you all a spacecraft
That'll warp you through time!
I know you wanna own a piece of my tomorrow!
I'm gonna be the one to show you
'Cause I'm the one the vision flows through
And though you may not see what I see
I'm the boy with dreams!
