The
chord progression to this song is:
·
C, F, C, G
I like to sit and think about the way I
like to sit and think
About the things I like to sit and think
about
Don’t stop me now because I think I’m thinkin'
Some people think that we can’t think
on our own
So they gotta
think for us in our home
On the TV set and the radio
And they tell us lies like socialize
and idolize and specialize
And nationalize and rationalize and
legalize
I like to think that when you think of
someone
That that someone thinks of you
So I wrote this song to let you know
that I’m thinkin' of you too
And I like to sit and think about the
way I like to sit and think
About the things I like to sit and
think about
Don’t stop me now because I think I’m thinkin'
I think God is my vacuum cleaner - I am
a heavy shag
He sucks all of my cares away and puts
'em in his Hefty Bag, yeah
His bag of wonder, his bag of hope is
better than a bottle of booze
And it’s better than a bag of dope
I am the chosen particle - He’s got
extra suction power
To take me from this dirty world up to
his ivory tower –
You might live in other bags and you
might talk to other shags
But you may be a
shallow shag with Satan’s carpet cleaning tag
So hit the bricks - Get your kicks
Go have some fun while you’re still
young
There’ll be plenty of time in the
future
To get a job as another high paid
executive computer
There’s no need to learn geography from
books upon the shelf
All you gotta
do is go and see it for yourself
So hit the bricks - Go have some fun
You better get your kicks while you’re
still young
And wander all over creation
Hit the bricks - Do it today without
hesitation
And man I like to sit and think about
the way I like to sit and think
About the things I like to sit and
think about
Don’t stop me now because I think I’m thinkin'
Some people think that we can’t think
on our own
So they gotta
think for us in our home
On the TV set and the radio
And they tell us lies like realize, and
idolize
And socialize, nationalize and
rationalize and legalize
I like to think that when you think of
someone
That that someone thinks of you
So I wrote this song to let you know
that I’m thinkin' of you too
And I like to sit and think about the
way I like to sit and think
About the things I like to sit and
think about
Don’t stop me now because I think I’m thinkin'
