If I had a hammer, I'd wake up my neighbors Pounding out a rhythm all about you If I had a pencil I'd push me some paper I'd build a skyscraper to get close to you If I had a lasso I'd sail out the window And land on an island next to you If I had a hot rod I'd fasten up my seatbelt And break the speed limit gettin' to you But I ain't got a hammer and I ain't got a pencil And I ain't got a lasso so I'm doing it the hard way Like a post post-modern man If I had a credit card I'd clear me a pathway Through the deepest jungle right to your door If I had a camera I'd snap away my fingers And collect up the pictures of you of couse But I ain't got a hot rod and I ain't got a credit card No chance for a camera so I'm doing it the hard way Like a post post-modern man Well, I ain't got a hammer and I ain't got a lasso No chance for a camera so I'm doing it the hard way
