Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Look at this stuff, isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has (Everything) everything?
Look at this trove, treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Looking around, you would think
"Sure, she's got everything"
I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty
I have whozits and whatzits galore
You want thingamabobs? I've got twenty
But who cares? No big deal, I want more (I want more, more)
[Verse 2]
I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see 'em dancing
Walking around on those—
What do you call 'em? Oh, feet
Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumping, dancing
Strolling along down the—
What's that word again? Street
[Chorus]
Up where they walk, up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wandering free, wish I could be
Part of that world
[Verse 3]
What would I give if I could live out of these waters? (Of these waters)
What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand?
Bet ya on land they understand, bet they don't reprimand their daughters
Bright young women sick of swimmin', ready to stand
I'm ready to know what the people know
Ask 'em my questions and get some answers
What's a fire and why does it—
What's the word? Burn?
Oh, when is it my turn?
Wouldn't I love, love to explore the shore up above
[Outro]
Out of the sea, wish I could be
Part of that world
