Yeah - hey, use it, ...everybody use it!
You could have a steam train,
If you'd just lay down your tracks,
You could have an aero - plane flying,
If you bring your blue sky back,
All you do is call me, I'll be anything you need

You could have a big dipper,
Going up and down, all a - round the bends,
You could have a bumper car bumping,
This a - musement never ends
I wanna be... your sledgehammer,
Why don't you call my name?
Ah! Oh, let me be your sledgehammer,
This will be my testimony,
Yeah! Yeah!

Show me round your fruit cage,
'Cause I will be your honey bee,
Open up your fruit cage,
With a fruit that is sweet as can be
I wanna be... your sledgehammer,
Why don't you call my name?
Hah! You'd better call the sledgehammer,
Put your mind at rest,
I'm gonna be... your sledgehammer,
This can be my testimony,
Hah! I'm your... sledgehammer,
Let there be no doubt about it
