Ride the Ride

Little Tommy's standing down
At the old Ferris wheel
They won't let him ride it
They don't know how he feels
You got to be so high Tommy
Before you ride that ride
You got to be so high Tommy
Before you ride that ride

He said, well may be some day
when I'm big and tall
I won't have to ride the pony
out in front of the mall
I will ride the roller coaster
like the big kids do
And I won't have to listen
to you tell me
You got to be so high Tommy
before you ride that ride

I love the girl from my hometown
But when it comes to lovin'
she always brings me down
You got to show me the money honey
before you ride that ride
You got to show me the money honey
before you ride that ride

Well may be some day
When I've got it all
I won't have to pin up posters
on my bedroom wall
I will find me a woman
who will love me for free
And I won't have to listen
to you tell me
You got to show me the money honey
before you ride that ride

Now when you go to see
the Snake Oil Medicine show
You better see the
doctor before you go
You got to be so high buddy
before you ride that ride
You got to be so high buddy
before you ride that ride

And when George
he writes his final verse
He will become Worpexter Cosmoverse
And as they're dragging him
Off to the funny farm
He'll say, "I didn't mean no harm"
you just got to be so high buddy
Before you ride that ride
