Somebody wishing on a shooting star
Shooting star streaming 'cross the sky
You know it's just a meteorite
People throwing pennies on a wishing well
Wishing well's gonna run dry
But I ain't gonna leave you tonight
Everybody talking about changing the world,
World ain't never gonna change
But you could always change it for me!
I'll shuck all the oysters and you keep the pearl
I do my shucking and my jiving for free
Free... like walking down the beach at night
Throw a bunch of lines out to the way you want
Till you get it right
Sometimes you don't get it right!
Sometimes you won't get it right!
But when you do, it's outta sight
Sometimes you do... get it right
