lyrics

I wish I could dance like a hillbilly
Cause if I could dance like a hillbilly
I wouldn't mind what nobody thought of me
Or my dancing feet, or my dancing feet, or my dancing

My mother tells me that my teeth are too expensive
First it's the cavities, now it's the braces
She says my teeth are gonna cost us a mortgage
But what are my teeth to the golden gate bridge?

The golden gate bridge is long, strong and mighty
I'd break my teeth off if I tried to bite it
But I can ride all the way across it
And I can leave it behind me

The golden gate bridge is a kiss in a shadow
The golden gate bridge is a dream in a meadow
Sky up above it, and water below it
You can pass over, or you can jump off it

My teeth will still be in my jaw when I'm ninety
When I'm buried low at a hundred and twenty
Jewels in the crown of the horn of plenty
My teeth will shine like a wishing well penny

There ain't no body like the body I am
The silver screw, the doorjamb
The highlit sun, the daughter's hand
The eternal moving bed of sand

There's no soul like my solo soul
There's no two like me and you
There's no honey in an empty hive
I never leave, I never arrive
I am the one who is always here
I am the one who cannot steer
I never meet myself on the street
I cannot mark my passing feet
I cannot mark my passing
