Take off your hat; kick off your shoes.

I know you ainÂ’t goinÂ’ anywhere.

Run ‘round the town, singin’ your blues.

I know you ainÂ’t goinÂ’ anywhere.

YouÂ’ve always been a good friend of mine,

But youÂ’re always sayinÂ’ farewell.

And the only time that youÂ’re satisfied

Is with your feet in the wishing well.

OhÂ… YeahÂ… Wish!

Throw down your gun – you might shoot yourself –

Or is that what youÂ’re tryinÂ’ to do?

Put up a fight you believe to be right

And someday the sun will shine through.

YouÂ’ve always got something to hide;

Something you just canÂ’t tell.

And the only time that youÂ’re satisfied

Is with your feet in the wishinÂ’ well.

OhÂ… YeahÂ…

But I know what youÂ’re wishinÂ’ for:

Love in a peaceful world. YeahÂ…

Love in a peaceful world. Oh, yeahÂ…

Love in a peaceful world.

MmmmmmmmÂ…

Na na na na na na na-naÂ…

Na na na na na na naÂ…



YouÂ’ve always been a good friend of mine,

But youÂ’re always sayinÂ’ farewell.

And the only time that youÂ’re satisfied

Is with your feet in the wishingÂ… well!

Oh! Yes! But, uhÂ… Ow!

I wish you wellÂ…

Oo-oo-ooh! The wishing well! Ow!

Everybody has a wishÂ…

Everybody has a dream. Yeah, yeah!

I wish you wellÂ… Ow!

Well, you dreamÂ… your own timeÂ…
