Lyrics:
"Just Another Finger"
Well, hello!
Now, how ya doin?
My name is Thumb.
I'm just a finger from ya hand.
I'm the stumpiest one.
I wanna tell you who I am,
I'm so happy to meet ya.
If u really wanna know,
I'll be happy to teach ya.
Yeah?!
Ok. I'm the kinda finger,
that you wouldn't put a ring on,
Not rilly, unless the ring
was kinda silly.
Cuz it couldn't be itty-bitty
It’d have to be biggie biggie
to fitty on that finga.
Iz u feelin me?
R you?
Anywho, thumb's got enemies.
I be that finger
with a keen wrestling ability.
Wanna settle a score?
Declare thumb war.
When the battle is on,
it's time to sing out this song. It goes:
I don't know why people love me so much.
I guess I just have a magical touch.
I just try to have me some fun
Well, c'mon everybody. Sing along with me, huh?!
I'm just another finger but they call me the thumb.
Do do do do do do!
Just another finger but they call me the thumb.
Do do do do do do!
I'm just another finger but they call me the thumb.
Do do do do do do!
Just another finger but they call me the thumb.
Do do do do do do!
Now if u wanna visit planets
of an alien race,
ya stick ya thumb out at a spaceship
heading to outer-space.
Ya see, ya thumb is super handy
when u play slap bass.
In an elevator thumbs up
will mean: Up and away!
Hey! Thumbs up for the movie.
2 down to the ground
if it wasn't too groovy.
Ima stand up
when I really dig what ya mean
and if I'm good with gardens,
well, you can call me green.
I'm like essential
when ya finger counting 5 to 10.
And I bring the party down
time and time again
with my da da da da da double jointed
da da da dance moves.
My da da da da da double jointed
da da da dance moves.
I'm like shoo mow mow
paa paa oo mow ma mow.
I'm like brady bunch baby
tha way I gets on down.
All thumbs pointing left.
All thumbs pointing right.
We be workin thumb magic all night!
Ahh!
Ya see, I went to see a band just the other night.
I said, the band was real hot and everything was alright.
My good friends, Pointer and Pinky, were there.
They got the devil horn sign all up in the air!
I'm just another finger but they call me the thumb.
Do do do do do do!
Just another finger but they call me the thumb.
Do do do do do do!
I'm just another finger but they call me the thumb.
Do do do do do do!
Just another finger but they call me the thumb.
Do do do do do do!
