Elton John - Look Ma No Hands Lyrics

Elton John Lyrics

"Look Ma No Hands"

I'll take a rainy day
To make a champagne shower
Poach some horn and tusk
To build an ivory tower
Been to Philadelphia
The day it was closed
I walked to New Orleans
Down a Louisiana road

The skeletons they hung from the bushes and the trees
But not a skull among 'em said boo to me
In a time of wine and cheap cigars
I'm on top of the world
Top of the world Ma

Look Ma no hands
Look Ma ain't life grand
I'm a super power, I'm a handyman
Didn't I turn out, didn't I turn out to be
Everything you wanted Ma
Ain't you proud of me

It takes a silver tongue
To have the Midas touch
Not your alchemist
Making gold from rust
Been down in Roswell
When the Martians came
I sailed to Mandeville
Across Lake Pontchartrain

Look Ma no hands
Look Ma ain't life grand
I'm a super power, I'm a handyman
Didn't I turn out, didn't I turn out to be
Everything you wanted Ma
Ain't you proud of me

The skeletons they hung from the bushes and the trees
But not a skull among 'em said boo to me
In a time of wine and cheap cigars
I'm on top of the world
Top of the world Ma

Look Ma no hands
Look Ma ain't life grand
I'm a super power, I'm a handyman
Didn't I turn out, didn't I turn out to be
Everything you wanted Ma
Ain't you proud of me

Didn't I turn out, didn't I turn out to be
Everything you wanted Ma
Aren't you proud of me
