Lyrics

LEMME BE YOUR KINGFISHER

Kingfisher sittin? on a telephone wire.
He knows why I?m a-callin? you, he knows I?m on fire.
He swoops down to catch a fish, he knows what to do;
He knows what I?m a-wantin? babe is nothin? but you.

If I could be a kingfisher, I?d be king of this stream;
I could fish where I wanted, I could dream a big dream.
But I?m just a man wantin? nothing? but you;
Lemme be your kingfisher, lemme dream for two.

Kingfisher waitin? on a nice juicy trout.
He says you know I love you, but you?ve got a little doubt.
Won?t you ask Mother Kingfisher, she?ll tell you true,
That I ain?t been catchin? nothing? cause I wanna catch you.

If I could be a kingfisher, I?d be king of this stream;
I could fish where I wanted, I could dream a big dream.
But I?m just a man wantin? nothing? but you;
Lemme be your kingfisher, lemme dream for two.

Kingfisher, kingfisher, sittin? on a wire;
He can fly that high, maybe not much higher.
Lemme fly so high, lemme fly so true.
Lemme be your kingfisher be my queenfisher, too.

If I could be a kingfisher, I?d be king of this stream;
I could fish where I wanted to and dream a big dream.
But I?m just a man wantin? nothing? but you;
Lemme be your kingfisher, lemme dream for two.

Kingfisher sittin? on a telephone wire.
He knows why I?m a-callin? you, he knows I?m on fire.
He swoops down to catch a fish, he knows what to do;
He knows what I?m a-wantin? babe is nothing? but you.
Nothin? but you.
Lemme be your kingfisher, be my queenfisher, too.
Lemme be your kingfisher, be my queenfisher, too.
