Can I get your hand to write on?
Just a piece of leg to bite on
Do you want a night to fly my kite on?
Do you want to flash a light on?

Take a look it's on display... For you
Coming down, no not today

 [repeat over next lyrics]

Did you meet your fortuneteller?
Get it off with no propeller
Do it up it's on with Stella
Pickin' up but not too strong.. For you
Take a piece and pass it on

Find a way to be a skater
Rev it up to levitate her
Super friendly aviator
Take a look it's on display... For you
Comin' down, no not today
