lyrics

I'll never live up to what my father said.
I need compassionate leave for the freeze that it's put on my head.
Searching for a peak I, I just can't find:
"You'll get there in the end my boy, just give it time."
Just give it time.

Boy,
You could be an astronaught,
You could be a doctor
Or a star.
Boy,
If you ive it all you've got,
All you need is the right stuff.

It's from the pits dragged up shut down a fool;
The serengeti buffalos, no shoes for school.
It stoked a fire that can't, it won't go out.
"Just do what makes you happy my boy, and do me proud."
Do me proud.


Boy,
You could be an astronaught,
You could be a doctor
Or a star.
Boy,
If you ive it all you've got,
All you need is the right stuff.

If I were you,
and you were me,
What would we be?

Hush little baby don't say a word,
Daddy's gonna buy mocking bird.
If that mocking bird don't sing,
Daddy's gonna buy you a diamond ring.
If that diamond ring turns brass,
Daddy's gonna buy you a looking glass.
And when I took you into bed,
I'll say what my father said.

Boy,
You could be an astronaught,
You could be a doctor
Or a star.
Boy,
If you ive it all you've got,
All you need is the right stuff.
