You could have a steam train
If you'd just lay down your tracks
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back
All you do is call me
I'll be anything you need
You could have a big dipper
Going up and down, all around the bends
You could have a bumper car, bumping
This amusement never ends
I wanna be your sledgehammer
Why don't you call my name?
I wanna be, sledgehammer
This will be my testimony, yeah, yeah
Show me 'round your fruitcage
'Cause Imma be your honey bee
Open up your fruitcage
Where the fruit is as sweet as can be
I wanna be your sledgehammer
Why don't you call my name?
I wanna be hey, sledgehammer
Put your mind at rest
I wanna be hey, sledgehammer
This gonna be like Testimony
You could have a steam train
If you'd just lay down your tracks
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back
All you do is call me
I'll be anything you need
You could have a big dipper
Going up and down, all around the bends
You could have a bumper car, bumping
This amusement never ends
I wanna be your sledgehammer
Why don't you call my name?
I wanna be, sledgehammer
This will be my testimony, yeah, yeah
