Look Ma, No Hands Songtext
von Elton John

I′ll take a rainy day to make a champagne shower
Poach some horn and tusk to build an ivory tower
Been to Philadelphia the day it was closed
I walked to New Orleans down a Louisiana road

The skeletons they hung from the bushes and the trees
But not a skull among 'em said boo to me
In a time of wine and cheap cigars I′m on top of the world
Top of the world Ma

Look Ma no hands, look Ma ain't life grand
I'm a super power, I′m a handy man
Didn′t I turn out, didn't I turn out to be
Everything you wanted Ma, ain′t you proud of me


It takes a silver tongue to have the Midas touch
Not your alchemist making gold from rust
Been down in Roswell when the Martians came
I sailed to Mandeville across Lake Pontchartrain

Look Ma no hands, look Ma ain't life grand
I′m a super power, I'm a handy man
Didn′t I turn out, didn't I turn out to be
Everything you wanted Ma, ain't you proud of me

The skeletons they hung from the bushes and the trees
But not a skull among ′em said boo to me
In a time of wine and cheap cigars I′m on top of the world
Top of the world Ma

Look Ma no hands, look Ma ain't life grand
I′m a super power, I'm a handy man
Didn′t I turn out, didn't I turn out to be
Everything you wanted Ma, ain′t you proud of me

Didn't I turn out, didn't I turn out to be
Everything you wanted Ma, ain′t you proud of me
