Look Ma, No Hands

Elton John

I'll take a rainy day 
To make a champagne shower 
Poach some horn and tusk 
To build an ivory tower 

Been to Philadelphia 
The day it was closed 
I walked to New Orleans 
Down a Louisiana road 

The skeletons they hung from the bushes and the trees 
But not a skull among 'em said boo to me 
In a time of wine and cheap cigars 
I'm on top of the world 
Top of the world Ma 

Look Ma no hands 
Look Ma ain't life grand 
I'm a super power, I'm a handy man 
Didn't I turn out, didn't I turn out to be 
Everything you wanted Ma 
Ain't you proud of me 

It takes a silver tongue 
To have the Midas touch 
Not your alchemist 
Making gold from rust 

Been down in Roswell 
When the Martians came 
I sailed to Mandeville 
Across Lake Pontchartrain
