Lyrics
DON'T WASTE A WISH ON ME
by Terry Abrahamson
Unwrap your presents
Read your cards through and through
Take your birthday bow.
They all here for you.
But when you blow out them candles
On the count of three,
Baby, don't a waste a wish on me.
Fly to Barcelona
Take a train up to France
One thing you gotta do
If you get the chance:
Drop a coin in that fountain
Down in Italy.
But baby, don't waste the wish on me.
You look up in the sky,
See a fallin' star
And it makes your young heart pound.
But it just might be
It's because of me
That ol' star came a crashin' down.
Go and rub that lamp
In the second hand store
Til through the smoke and fire,
That old Genie roar
Your wish is my command,
Baby, what'll it be?
Just don't waste that wish on me.
No baby, don't waste that wish on me.
