Lyrics

I wish for such a lot of things That never will come true And yet I want them all so much I think they might, don't you? Don't you? Don't you? Don't you? I want a little kitty cat That's soft and tame and sweet And every day I watch and hope I find one in the street Street The street Street Street Street The street The street The But, but mercy says "Good luck" And I can't stand to see it like that I'm only looking hard and hard To try to find my cat My cat My cat My cat My cat My cat And then I want a blue balloon That tries to fly away I thought if I wished hard enough That it would come someday Someday Someday One time when I was in the park I knew that it would be beside The big old clock at home Clock at home Clock at home Clock at home Clock at home Clock at home Clock at Waiting there for me And soon as we got home again I hurried through the hall And looked beside the big old clock It wasn't there at all I think I'll never wish again But then, what shall I do? The wishes are a lot of fun Although they don't come true They don't come true Come True Come
