lyrics

There's a little white spot on a red rubber ball;
she bounces it high, never lets it fall,
and she wonders what it's like to be so tall,
'cause in this big old world you can feel so small.

A little white lie that you told to me
kept me on my toes and begging on my knees.
Now, she's offering me up the cure for free
just a welcome shift of reality.

She can tell the fib from the fable,
she's a sensible girl.
High above the noise of the cable,
she's on top of the world.
The first words she spoke were a Vaudeville joke;
she's a kidder with no apology.
She makes me feel good as a boy can be;
she's like a full day's supply of Vitamin C.

There's a little white box where you tried to hide
the parts of me you though should stay inside.
Now, the knot you tied around has come untied
and she's taken me for a ride.

She's been stripping off all the labels;
she's a beautiful girl.
Look at what she's brought to the table;
it's the best in the world.
She'll let you in with a Vaudeville grin,
and you'll hope that she invites you to stay.
She helps me see things that looked so far away;
she's like a full day's supply of Vitamin A.

She makes me feel smooth as a boy can be;
she's like a full day's supply of Vitamin A.
