I need to be myself I can't be no one else I'm feeling supersonic Give me gin and tonic You can have it all but how much do you want it? You make me laugh Give me your autograph Can I ride with you in your BMW ? You can sail with me in my yellow submarine You need to find out Cause no one's gonna tell you what I'm on about You need to find a way for what you want to say But before tomorrow Cause my friend said he'd take you home He sits in a corner all alone He lives under a waterfall No body can see him No body can ever hear him call You need to be yourself You can't be no one else I know a girl called Elsa She's into Alka Seltzer She sniffs it through a cane on a supersonic train She made me laugh I got her autograph She done it with a doctor on a helicopter She's sniffin in her tissue Sellin' the Big Issue She needs to find out Cause no one's gonna tell you what I'm on about She needs to find a way for what you want to say But before tomorrow Cause my friend said he'd take you home He sits in a corner all alone He lives under a waterfall No body can see him No body can ever hear him call
