Make a Wish Songtext
von Paul Simon

Du du du du li du
Wake up
Du du du du li du
Wake up
Du du du du li du li du li du
Hey you, wake up

The other night when i was sleeping
I awoke and i thought i saw a ghost (du du du du li du li du li du)
But it was just an oriental genie
Leaning on my bed post


Make a wish, make a wish said the genie
Make a wish, make a wish and if you do
I′m a smash, I'm a wow, I′m a wizard
I can make any wish come true
I rubbed my eyes and told that genie
Life is gloomy but you can make it shine
There's a girl that i adore her name is Lulu
Won't you please make Lulu mine
He bounced a golden ball
He waved a silver cloak
He yelled alaka zam and the floor began to smoke
Red smoke, yellow smoke, green smoke, blue
He did all the things a genie should do
He pointed his wand to a wall of flames
He howled for Lulu but she never came

Make a wish, make a wish said the genie
The wish that you made just isn′t right
I′m a smash, I'm a wow, I′m a wizard
But you're the tenth guy that made that wish tonight

You may wonder why I′m not down hearted
Why I'm here with a smile upon my face
Well it seems that my oriental genie
Went over to Lulu′s place

Make a wish said the genie to Lulu
Make a wish, make a wish and you'll--
I'm a smash, I′m a wow, I′m a wizard
So Lulu made a wish
Lulu made a wish
Lulu made a wish for me

Now when Lulu is in my arms
She looks into my eyes
I press her lips to mine
And the smoke begins to rise

Red smoke, yellow smoke, green smoke, blue smoke, purple smoke, pink smoke, white smoke


Wow...
