LETRA:

"Cowboy Secret Space Detective"

[VERSE 1]

I want to go where no man's ever gone before

And I want to wield my evil father's laser sword

One little step for me

Gets bigger when there's no gravity

And I'm gonna fly high in the sky

Faster than the speed of thought

I am gonna be an astronaut

[VERSE 2]

I want to be the fastest draw in the wild, wild West

In boot and spurs

And a ten-gallon hat I'll be well dressed

I'll catch the bandits and throw them in jail

I'll win a shoot out at the OK corral

Oh bury me not on the lone prairie

Don't fence me in, Roy

I want to be a cowboy

[Chorus]

People always ask me, "When you gonna grow up

And when you do what will you be?"

That's when I always tell that if I'm gonna grow up

I'll do it on my own sweet time

And what I become is still up to me

[BRIDGE]

In the sandbox and on the jungle gym

Barbie dolls and Tonka trucks were made for her and him

I don't know I don't know

But you just ask my mom

And she says I can be whatever I want to be

And you just ask your dad

If you can come over and play with me

[VERSE 3]

I want to say, "Land ho! Argghh! Avast!"

And "Batten down the hatches!"

And I want to have a peg leg

A hook for an arm, and two eyepatches

I'll run you through then make you walk the plank or

I'll tie you to a two-ton anchor

I'll be a pirate I'll show no fear

I want to be a buccaneer

[VERSE 4]

I wanna be a photo-journalist college kid

And I wanna get bitten by a radioactive arachnid

One lesson that'll be learned by me

Is that with great power comes great responsibility

And I'll have an uncanny spider-sense

And web-shooters on my hands

I wanna be Spider-Man!

[Chorus]
