I wanna be thin I wanna be small I wanna be pinned up high and studied on the wall I wanna be sold I wanna be fit I wanna be there. I wanna be hooked I wanna be base I wanna be served up lightly dressed and on a plate I wanna be cut I wanna be dried I wanna be there. I wanna be changed I wanna be rode I wanna be made to handle very heavy loads I wanna be his I wanna be hers I wanna be theirs Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh. I wanna be held I wanna be schooled I wanna have every plea for mercy overruled I wanna be milled I wanna be rolled I wanna be there. Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh I wanna be there. Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh I wanna be there. Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh I wanna be there. Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh I wanna be there. Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh I wanna be there. Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh I wanna be there.
