Can I be your teacher’s pet, put the spring in your step, or the song in your heart?
Can I be the one you’re missin’, your side with all of the fixin’s; just want to play my part.
Can I be your pot of gold, up and over your rainbow; the very treasure you seek.
Can I be your little something extra, your very, very, special; everything that you need.
But I don’t want to be hackneyed,
Trite
Some cliché or just a catchphrase,
Of silly words that don’t mean anything to you. (2x)
I want to be your cat’s meow, the cat’s pajamas, the fiddle that he plays, while he smiles with all of his might. (Grinning like a Cheshire Cat!)
I want to be doggone good, who you won’t dog out; who leaves you dog tired each and every night.
I want to be your superwoman, your super lover, the one who treats you like no other all of your days.
I want to be right on time, on the money, in the house, I just want to stay.
But I don’t want to be hackneyed,

Don’t want to be dull, flat
Prosaic, as a matter of fact,
I don’t want to be nothing, that don’t mean nothing to you
Don’t want to be hum -, drum-
Rhyme less, mediocre, ordinary, stock . . .
I just want to be, I just want to be with you
Don’t want to be hackneyed,
Trite
Some cliché or just a catchphrase,
Of silly words that don’t mean anything to you
