Who Woulda Thunk It?

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

We used to say I could walk all night, and we could and we did

Down that gravel road, to that tiny town, and the door always opened

Now we say I could walk all night. It's not true

We can't walk all night, no, because we don't want to

We want a bed and a blanket, some light breakfast, sometime tomorrow

We want a bed and a blanket, some light breakfast, sometime tomorrow

And I sing it now, hey hey, hey hey, who woulda thunk it

Hey hey, hey hey, who woulda thunk it

We used to say I could eat a horse, and we could and we did

In fast food joints in the middle of someplace on the way to someplace else

Now we say I could eat a horse. It's not true

We can't eat a horse, no, because we don't want to

We want somethin from the cookbook, that new one with the great graphics

Somethin from the cookbook, that new one with the great graphics

Oh and I sing it now, hey hey, hey hey, who woulda thunk it

Hey hey, hey hey, who woulda thunk it

We used to say I don't care if I never have any money

As long as I have my sweet honey and a shack in the woodland

Now we say I don't care if I don't have money, but it's not true

We can't live without money, no, because we don't want to

We want one of those and two of those, and oh that one looks neat, wrap it up

Put it on my MasterCard. Put it on my Visa

And I sing it now, hey hey, hey hey, who woulda thunk it

Hey hey, hey hey, who woulda thunk it

Hey hey, hey hey

Hey hey, hey hey now, who woulda thunk it

We used to say I don't care if I never grow old

I'm gonna flame, gonna burn, take one quick turn and be gone like James Dean

Now we don't say that. It's too late to die young

So we sit at the table long after supper and a good wine

Here's what we sing, we go, hey hey, hey hey, who woulda thunk it

Hey hey, hey hey, who woulda thunk it
