If I had a hammer I'd wake up my neighbors Pounding out a rhythm All about you If I had a pencil I'd push me some paper I'd build a skyscraper To get close to you If I had a lasso I'd sail 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 got a hammer And I ain't got a lasso No chance for a camera So I'm doing it the hard way
