Make a Wish
Strawberry Shortcake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you make a wish, do it proper
Cross your fingers and your toes
When you make a wish, make it a whopper
And make sure it's the wish you wish you chose

Remember that wishes don't come along everyday
So if you feel one coming, make sure you think of something good
'Cuz if you're gonna wish you gotta be choosy
No ordinary wish will do
When you make a wish, make it a doozy!
Who knows? It might come true...

Don't waste it on something you can buy at the store
Make a wish and why not wish for more?

Wish for kites that never come down
Songs that never ended
Flights that never bended
Fish without hooks, school without books
Wish for something more than you can take it
That's the only kind of wish worth making

Cuz if you make a wish you gotta be clever
Make sure you know just what to say (I wish I can I wish I might)
When you make a wish, make it forever
Don't change your mind along the way

Just stand up real tall and keep your feet on the floor
Make a wish, and when you're wishing
Why not wish for more?

Wish for more




Wish for more
Wish for more

YES!! Now I can tell everyone that Strawberry Shortcake taught children to leave home and head to the dark coke-spoon dens where disco was being played on its very death knell... thank God I grew up with "Courage in the Big Stinkin' City."

Can you buy the 12" US promo single of Moloko's "Day For Night?" I wanna hear the Blakdoktor Afterglow Mix...

But this track was predicted forty years later in a new series called โ€œBerry In The Big Cityโ€.
