Lyrics

Wishing Well

Take off your hat; kick off your shoes

I know you ain't goin' anywhere

Run 'round the town, singin' your blues

I know you ain't goin' anywhere

You've always been a good friend of mine

But you're always sayin' farewell

And the only time that you're satisfied

Is with your feet in the wishing well

Oh! Yeah! Wish!

Throw down your gun

You might shoot yourself

Or is that what you're tryin' to do?

Put up a fight you believe to be right

And someday the sun will shine through

You've always got something to hide;

Something you just can't tell

And the only time that you're satisfied

Is with your feet in the wishin' well

Oh! Yeah!

But I know what you're wishin' for:

Love in a peaceful world. Yeah!

Love in a peaceful world. Oh, yeah!

Love in a peaceful world

Mmmmmmmm

Na na na na na na na-na

Na na na na na na na

You've always been a good friend of mine

But you're always sayin' farewell

And the only time that you're satisfied

Is with your feet in the wishin' well!

Oh! Yes! But, uh! Ow!

I wish you well!

Oo-oo-ooh! The wishing well! Ow!

Everybody has a wish

Everybody has a dream. Yeah, yeah!

I wish you well Ow!

Well, you dream

Your own time
