Stinky weather fat, shaky hands
Dopey morning doc, grumpy gnomes

Little wonder then, little wonder
You little wonder, little wonder you

Big screen dolls, and explosions
Sleepy time bashful but nude
Little wonder then, little wonder
You little wonder, little wonder you

Enter galactic see me to be you
It's all in the tablets sneezy bhutan
Little wonder then, little wonder
You little wonder, little wonder you

Mars happy nation sit on my karma
Dame meditation take me away
Little wonder then, little wonder
You little wonder, little wonder you

Sending me, so far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away

Little wonder, little wonder you
Little wonder, little wonder you

Sending me, so far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away

Little wonder, little wonder you
Little wonder, little wonder you

You little wonder, little wonder you
Little wonder then, little wonder 
You little wonder, little wonder you
