Everybody Wants One
They
said a hot new craze was sweeping 'cross the nation:
"Be the
first kid on your street to own this out of sight sensation!
If you want to have a lot of friends and have a lot of fun,
then dig up all your money and go out and get yourself one!"
Because everybody wants one.
And everybody needs one.
And everybody's having fun.
'Cause everybody's got one -
Everybody but me!
I know because I saw it on TV.
Well, I always hate the feeling that I'm being left out.
I
knew I had to have one. There was never any doubt.
So I
begged my mom and dad until I drove 'em both insane,
and they
took me to the store so I could but the crazy thing.
Because everybody wants one.
And everybody needs one.
And everybody's having fun.
'Cause everybody's got one -
Everybody and me!
I know because I saw it on TV.
Well, I got the thing home and dumped it out of its box.
It
just sat there on the carpet looking kind of sad and lost.
I
tried to get it going, but it wouldn't work for me.
Why'd it
look so darned fantastic when I saw it on the TV?
They said everybody wanted one.
They said everybody needed
one.
They said everyone was having fun -
Everybody
but me!
Could it be? Did they lie to me on TV? Oh, no!
They said everybody wanted one.
They said
everybody needed one.
They said everyone was having fun -
Everybody but me!
I guess I can't believe everything on TV!
