He's somewhere watching us
Through eyeholes in the walls
Mr. Small's Theater
Partly hoping, half afraid
We will rock it so well
We will roll down the hill
We will rock it so well
We will roll down the hill
Mr. Small's

Mr. Small's
Mr. Small's
I still have dreams about a place
Called the Electric Banana
Where we're falling into space
Mr. Small's Theater
Partly hoping, half afraid
We will rock it so well
We will roll down the hill
We will rock it so well
We will roll down the hill
We will rock it so well
We will roll down the hill
We will rock it so well
We will roll down the hill
