Lyrics[]
- If you make a wish and simply wish and wait
- Your wish will sit there too, like a balloon you don't inflate
- 'Cus your wish is only strong, if you Help Your Wish Along
- Your stomach really hurts, you wish it wouldn't ache
- Then you go cut yourself another piece of cake
- Well that's obviously wrong, you gotta Help Your Wish Along
- Your wish is a pony, who will take you to your goal
- But you've got to feed it, and coax it, and lead it
- With all your heart and soul
- Yes when you make a wish, you both become a team
- So offer it your hand and march together to your dream
- You will float there like a song, when you Help Your Wish Along
If you Help Your Wish Along, you gotta Help Your Wish Along
Yes Help Your Wish Along, you gotta Help Your Wish Along
Yes Help Your Wish Along
Mr. Conductor: You gotta Help Your Wish Along
