Lyrics:
I wanna try your shoes on, and wear them for a day. Learn to walk like
you do, and see what I see. I'd talk like I knew something, that everyone
wanted to hear.
But you're the Fonz. . .
The definition of icy, the measure of what's up. You could play the tuba,
and everyone would clap. Well I can play the tuba, and they all just
shake their heads.
Cause you're the Fonz. . .
I know it's over for me, I know it's over for me, I know it's over for
me, I know it's over.
Drove my car to the top floor, and stood at the edge. When I woke up in
heaven, looked down and no one cared. But when you pulled your own
trigger, they all gathered round to watch.
Cause you're the Fonz. . .
That's it! I hope this makes some sense to you. It's a fun song to play,
so have fun, dammit. E-mail me and tell me how I'm doing, or if you have
any changes or anything.
Luke
