Zoom
Tim Noah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My peanut butter sandwich
I blow moterboat bubbles in my glass
Make faces in the toaster
Ride a roller coaster
Take my rocket ship out for a blast.
Zoom, zoom, zoom
My imagination takes me high
Zoom, zoom, zoom
Ride around the moon
My imagination let's me fly.
Me and my friends were in the bathtub
Havin' fun tryin' to get clean
When in walked my father
He dived in the water
Took us for a ride on his submarine.
Zoom, zoom, zoom
Ride around the room
My imagination takes me high
Zoom, zoom, zoom
Ride around the moon
My imagination let's me fly.
I know I can fly
Away up in the sky
I know we can do it if we try.
