I Get Ideas Songtext
von Trout Fishing in America

When I see a big old tree, I get ideas
Can you pet a bumblebee? I get ideas
I see a jar of peanut butter and it′s time to wash my hair
Something weird comes over me. I get ideas
Well, I wonder where they come from, these ideas
I'm never sure just what to do with my ideas
How many marbles can fit in a sink? How many root beers can I drink?
Something weird comes over me. I get ideas
I′m not saying they're good ones
But at least I'm thinking something
Even if I get it wrong
Once or twice or three times, it′s not nothing
Give me a hammer and a nail. I get ideas
It happens without fail. I get ideas Some plywood and a two by four or maybe just the kitchen door
Something weird comes over me. I get ideas
I′m not saying they're good ones
But at least I′m trying something
Even if I get it wrong
Once or twice or three times it's not nothing
Just before I go to sleep, I get ideas
When the elves come out to play, I get ideas
Maybe if I concentrate I′ll surprise the world one day
When I finally have a good idea
I need a good idea
It's a good idea
It′s a good idea
