Look Ma, No Hands

look ma, no hands - elton john
i'll take a rainy day
to make a champagne shower
poach some horn and tusk
to build an ivory tower
been to philadelphia
the day it was closed
i walked to new orleans
down a louisiana road
the skeletons they hung
from the bushes and the trees
but not a skull among them said, "boo" to me
in a time of wine and cheap cigars
i'm on top of the world
top of the world ma
look ma no hands
look ma ain't life grand
i'm a super power, and i'm a handy man
didn't i turn out, didn't i turn out to be
everything you wanted ma
ain't you proud of me
takes a silver tongue
to have the midas touch
not your alchemist
making gold from rust
been down in roswell
when the martians came
i sailed to mandeville
across lake pontchartrain
look ma no hands
look ma ain't life grand
i'm a super power, i'm a handy man
didn't i turn out, didn't i turn out to be
everything you wanted ma
ain't you proud of me
the skeletons they hung
from the bushes and the trees
but not a skull among them said, "boo" to me
in a time of wine and cheap cigars
i'm on top of the world
top of the world ma
look ma no hands
look ma ain't life grand
i'm a super power, and i'm a handy man
didn't i turn out, didn't i turn out to be
everything you wanted ma
ain't you proud of me
didn't i turn out, didn't i turn out to be
everything you wanted ma
ain't you proud of me
