Zoom - Three Wishes (1972)

Season 2 (1972-1973)

Album: Come On And Zoom (1974)

Lyrics: Three wishes, three wishes, wishes one, two, three…
Where would you like to,
What would you like to,
When would you like to be?

If I could be a magician
Why, then I would be wishing
That all my wishes would come true

Three wishes, three wishes, wishes one, two, three…
Where would you like to,
What would you like to,
When would you like to be?

I’d like to live when everything was clean
Where the skies were blue and the grass was green
And instead of garbage in the streets
You could stroll around in your bare feet
I’d like to live when everything was clean

I’d like to live way back in history
When men wore armor, right down to their knees
And the ladies wore long, flowing gowns
And they rode their chariots into town
I’d like to live in 99 BC

I’d like to live when time came to a stop
And the clocks all forgot to tick and tock
Because if they never change the date
They never blame me for being late
And I celebrate my birthday every day

Three wishes, three wishes, wishes one, two, three…
Where would you like to,
What would you like to,
When would you like to be?

I’d like to be a trainer in a zoo
Chasing snakes and catching kangaroos
I’d teach the antelopes not to kick
And keep the Tigers free of ticks
I’d be the only trainer with his name in who’s who

I’d like to be a traveling machine
Part train, part airplane, and part submarine
I’d be at home anywhere
Underwater, on the land, or in the air
Ain’t no place where I would have never been

Three wishes, three wishes, wishes one, two, three…
Where would you like to,
What would you like to,
When would you like to be?

I’d like to live my life with honeybees
Away on top of the tallest redwood tree
I’d live to 163
Just making my honey and staying free
And when I died, I’d be born again as me

I’d like to build a cabin out of logs
And live alone in a big old scary bog
I make friends with crocodiles
And race with turtles for miles and miles
I’d like to live with frogs and polliwogs

Three wishes, three wishes, wishes one, two, three…
Where would you like to,
What would you like to,
When would you like to be?

If we could be magicians
Why, then we would be wishing
That all our wishes would come true

Three wishes, three wishes, wishes one, two, three…
Where would you like to,
What would you like to,
When would you like to be?
