If I had a hammer
I'd wake up my neighbors
pounding out a rhythm
all about you
if I had a pencil
I'd push me some paper
I'd build a skyscraper
to get close to you
if I had a lasso
I'd sail out the window
and land on an island
next to you
if I had a hot rod
I'd fasten up my seatbelt
and break the speed limit
gettin' to you
but I ain't got a hammer
and I ain't got a pencil
and I ain't got a lasso
so i'm doing it the hard way
like a post post-modern man
if I had a credit card
I'd clear me a pathway
through the deepest jungle
right to your door
if I had a camera
I'd snap away my fingers
and collect up the pictures
of you of course
but I ain't got a hot rod
and I ain't got a credit card
no chance for a camera
so i'm doing it the hard way
like a post post-modern man
well I ain't got a hammer
and I ain't got a lasso
no chance for a camera
so i'm doing it the hard way
