i've got a great idea

i've got a great idea

and wouldn't you like to know

you probably can't bear it

so i guess i'll have to share it

i thought of it a moment ago

it starts with your hand in mine

and next comes a little stroll

you probably won't buy it

but i'm trying to keep it quiet

so please don't tell a soul

'cause if you do

the world and you

will think i'm crazy and give me medicine

they'll drag me away

and as i go you'll hear me say

i could have been a decent match for edison

ideas are few and far between

and good ideas are rarer still

so listen and be wise

just forget the other guys

'cause my idea's no good for three

my idea is you and me
