if i had a hammer    i'd wake up all my neighbors    pounding out a rhythm    all about you      if i had apencel    i'd push me some paper    i'd build a skyscraper    to get close to you      if i had a lasso    i'd said out the window    and land on an island    next to you      if i had a hot rod    i'd fasten up my seatbelt    and break the speed limit    gettin' to you      but i ain't got a hammer    and i ain't got a pencil    and i ain't got a lasso    so i'm doing it the hard way    like a post post-modern man      if i had a credit card    i'd clear me a pathway    through the deepest jungle    right to your door      if i had a camera    i'd snap away my fingers    and collect up the pictures    of you, of course      but i ain't got a hot rod    and i ain't got a credit card    no chance for a camera    so i'm doing it the hard way    like a post post-modern man      well i ain't go a hammer    and i ain't got a lasso    no chance for a camera    so i'm doing it the hard way
