Yeah – hey, use it, everybody use it!
You could have a steam train, | / / / / |
If you’d just lay down your tracks,
You could have an aero – plane— 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 a – round the bends,
You could have a bumper car, bumping,
This a – musement never ends!
I wanna be... your sledgehammer,
Why don’t you call my name?
Ah! Oh, let me be your sledgehammer,
This will be my testimony,
Yeah! Yeah!
| / / / / | /__/ /__/ /

Show me round your fruit cage, | / / / / |
‘Cause I will be your honey bee,
Open up your fruit cage, | / / / / |
With a fruit that is sweet as can be!
I wanna be... your sledgehammer,
Why don’t you call my name?
Hah! You’d better call the sledgehammer,
Put your mind at rest,
I’m gonna be… your sledgehammer,
This can be my testimony,
Hah! I’m your... sledgehammer,
Let there be no doubt about it!
Sledge! Sledge! | / / / / |
Sledge – hammer! | / / / / | / / / / |

Shed my skin, (Shed my skin!)
This is the new stuff, (This is the new stuff!)

Oh, won’t you …show for me? (Show for me!)
I will …show for you, (Show for you!)
Please, …show for me, (Show for me!)
I will… show for you! Yeah – yeah! Yeah – yeah!
Yeah, I do mean you! Only you, you’ve been coming through,
A – gonna build that power, build, build up that power, haaaa,
I’ve been feeding the rhythm, huh, I’ve been feeding the rhythm,
Going to feel that power, hey… build in you! Ahhhh!
Come on, come on, help me do! Come on, come on help me do,
Yeah – yeah, yeah – yeah! Yeah – yeah, yeah – yeah, you,
I’ve been feeding my rhythm, I’ve been feeding my rhythm,
It’s what we’re doing, doing... all day and night,
Ah, come on, come on, help me do! Come on, come on, help me do,
Yeah – yeah, yeah – yeah! Yeah – yeah, yeah – yeah, you!
