Say boys and girls don't you want to have fun Why bother to walk when you'd rather run Why bother with books when you've got a gun Come fly with me right into the sun In another world, in another time I can picture you and me together If I close my eyes tight and think real hard I can float lighter than a feather If I try even harder who knows what I might find Why maybe a pearl of wisdom I would trade these pearls for a parcel of flesh In flesh we were all invented Is it time to play? said the ratboy to the ratgirl Can we fly today, can we look here for some fresh kill In concentric circles we'll carve up the sky Looking for a big surprise Fly like a vulture, fly like a vulture.... In another world, in another time I can picture us a happy family With our happy kids all flying all around And leaving far behind the rat-race Is it time to play? said the tortoise to the rabbit Can we fly today, are we creatures all of habit In concentric circles we'll carve up the sky Waiting for a big surprise Fly like a vulture, fly like a vulture... Say boys and girls don't you want to have fun Why bother to crawl when you'd rather run Why bother to walk when you'd rather fly Come join the party way up in the sky Is it time to play? said the ratboy to the ratgirl Can we fly today, can we look here for some fresh kill In concentric circles we'll carve up the sky Looking for a big surprise Fly like a vulture, fly like a vulture...
