III Wishes

(album: Shaving Peaches - 1998)

If I had three wishes, I'd wish for five,
Panorama, men at work, oh man alive,
If I had five wishes I'd wish for six,
I'd have a Midas touch and not a nervous twitch,
If I had six wishes I'd wish for seven,
No I'll go the whole hog give me a hundred and eleven wishes,
What are they all for,
So I can have everything I've ever wished for and more,

If I had three wishes I'd wish for five,
Then I could breath under water and I'd still be alive,
I'd be as strong as ten tigers and fly through sky,
Or be completely invisible yet still pleasing to the eye,
Oh just nine wishes, no make it ten,
So I can travel through time and start all over again.
So I can travel through time and start all over again.

[Refrain:]
If I had three wishes I'd wish for five,
Peace on earth, ban the bomb, get along and survive,
If I had five wishes I'd wish for six,
I'd have a flat in the city and a house in the sticks,
If I had six wishes I'd wish for seven,
Just decide what you want and then make it happen.
Just decide what you want and then make it happen.

[Refrain:]
Wish me luck, wish me well,
Wish me all the best and the rest to hell,
Wish happy birthday, wish good new year,
It's a wish wash there I bet you was here,
It's a wish wash there I bet you were here,

[Refrain:]
If I had three wishes,
I'd have a hundred and eleven wishes.
[repeat to end]
