Al Stewart - Genie on a Table Top lyrics

I went floating down the street one day With a song playing in my mind Hopping and bopping like a ricochet Bad news was hard to find There was a hint of syncopation Coming from the sidewalk and the street There was a glint of scintillation Hanging over everyone you'd meet And it makes me feel okay Like a big yellow tractor going mowing through a field of hay Like a genie on a table top surfing through the month of May I saw a world in the window of a knick-knack shop And I tossed it in the air A girl went by with a forget-me-not And she wore it in her hair There was a peak of pixillation And I never noticed it before There was a jump of jubilation And it seemed to promise more and more And it makes me feel okay Like a big yellow tractor going mowing through a field of hay Like a genie on a table top surfing through the month of May Oh she loves me and she loves me Better than I've ever loved myself She knows me and she loves me Better, now I want nobody else Oh she loves me and she loves me Better than I've ever loved myself She knows me and she loves me Better, now I want nobody else Percolating through the noonday sun With wings upon my shoes I was jumping about in front of everyone No dignity to lose There was a rush of animation Bubbling about inside my soul There was a rin-tin-tabulation coming It was so hard to control And it makes me feel okay Like a pig with a bucket full of truffles in a French cafe Like Louis Armstrong playing trumpet on the judgment day Like a flying boat captain with an amethyst lake below Like a winner of a marathon rolling in a field of snow Like a figure skating gigolo looking for a heart to steal Like a simulated orgasm suddenly becoming real Like a big yellow tractor going bowling through a field of hay Like a genie on a table top surfing through the month of May
