You could have a steam train
If you'd just lay down your tracks
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back

All you do is call me
                     E(D)                   !
I'll be anything you need

You could have a big dipper
Going up and down, all around the bends
You could have a bumper car, bumping
This amusement never ends

  I want to be         your sledgehammer

  This will be my testimony

Open up your fruitcage
Where the fruit is as sweet as can be

  I want to be your sledgehammer
  Why don't you call my name
  (Ah) You'd better call the sledgehammer
  Put your mind at rest

  I'm going to be the sledgehammer
  This can be my testimony
  (Ah) I'm your sledgehammer
  Let there be no doubt about it

I've kicked the habit (kicked the habit, kicked the habit)
Shed my skin (shed my skin)
This is the new stuff (this is the new stuff)
I go dancing in (we go dancing in)

Oh won't you show for me (show for me)
I will show for you (show for you)
Show for me (show for me)
I will show for you - yeah yeah yeah I do mean you

(Show for me) Only you, you've been coming through
(Show for you) Going to build that power, build, build up that power, hey
(Show for me) I've been feeding the rhythm, I've been feeding the rhythm
(Show for you) Going to feel that power, hey build in you

(Show for me) Come on come on, help me do, come on come on, help me do
(Show for you) Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you
