Take off your hat; kick off your shoes
I know you ain't goin' anywhere
Run "?round the town, singin' your blues
I know you ain't goin' anywhere
You've always been a good friend of mine,
But you're always sayin' farewell
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well
Oh"¦ Yeah"¦ Wish!
Throw down your gun "? you might shoot yourself "?
Or is that what you're tryin' to do?
Put up a fight you believe to be right
And someday the sun will shine through
You've always got something to hide;
Something you just can't tell
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishin' well
Oh"¦ Yeah"¦
But I know what you're wishin' for:
Love in a peaceful world Yeah"¦
Love in a peaceful world Oh, yeah"¦
Love in a peaceful world
Mmmmmmmm"¦
Na na na na na na na-na"¦
Na na na na na na na"¦

You've always been a good friend of mine,
But you're always sayin' farewell
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing"¦ well!
Oh! Yes! But, uh"¦ Ow!
I wish you well"¦
Oo-oo-ooh! The wishing well! Ow!
Everybody has a wish"¦
Everybody has a dream Yeah, yeah!
I wish you well"¦ Ow!
Well, you dream"¦ your own time"¦
