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.

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.
