I Could Rule The World Lyrics - Singles - The Waitresses

"I Could Rule The World, If I Could Only Get The Parts" 

(Chris Butler, Tin Huey Music (c) 1978) 

Jealousy, Jealousy 

Got a dream for a dream 

Out of tin cans & string 

Build it, build it 

But I need a few things 

Step up to the counter 

Hand the man a sheet 

"Everything's on back order 

Already obsolete. But we got..." 

[Mars Williams does amazing things on saxaphone] 

I could rule the world 

If I could only get the parts 

It's a beautiful idea 

It'll be a first 

A thousand and one uses 

And easy on the purse 

Army surplus army 

Bits of this, bits of that 

String balls, string balls 

Scrap pack rat 

[Mars Williams does things on saxaphone you wouldn't think were possible] 

The concept is so simple 

Ahead of its time 

But what I need they don't make 

And what I want is hard to find 

But you got... 

I could rule the world 

If I could only get the parts
