So once I had a little house in the country babe
In the country I was living in the country with you
And the man in the corner had a funny little hat
And he wore little buttons all down his back
And little did he know when he really had to go
And give it the neighbor's cat, to the neighbor's cat
And the neighbor's cow had a funny little hat all day

Oh-oh, be careful what you wish for
Because it might come true
Oh-oh, be careful what you dream for
Because it's staring back at you
It's staring back at you

And he marched to the beat of the sugarplum fairy drums
With the fairy drums or the sugarplums were marching too
To the rhythm of the rhythm of a tap-a-tap-tap
And he built the man in the baseball cap
And no one could tell just quite where he fell
Cause he fell down a pavement crack, down a pavement crack

And the pavement crack went in to hell and back

Oh-oh, be careful what you wish for
Because it might come true
Oh-oh, be careful what you dream of
Because it's staring back at you
Because it's staring back at you

Well I play guitar and you play guitar
And you play guitar and I play guitar
And I play guitar and you play guitar
And you play guitar and I play harmonica

Oh-oh, be careful what you wish for
Because it might come true
Hey-yeah, be careful what you dream of
Because it's staring back at you
Because it's staring back at you

Oh, you shouldn't done that
You shouldn't done that
You shouldn't done that
You shouldn't done that
You shouldn't done that
You shouldn't done that
You shouldn't done that
You shouldn't done no
You shouldn't done that
You shouldn't done that
You shouldn't done that
You shouldn't done that
You shouldn't done that
You shouldn't done that
You shouldn't done that
You shouldn't done that

Whoa-oh, be careful what you wish for
Because it might come true
Because it might
No-oh, be careful what you dream of
Because it's staring back at you
It's staring back at you
