I will build you a castle with a tower so high 'Till it reaches the moon I'll gather melodies from birdies that fly And compose you a tune Give you lovin' as warm as Mama's oven And if that don't do Then I'll try something new I'll try something new I will take you away with me as far as I can To Venus or Mars There we will love with your hand in my hand You'll be king of the stars Every day we can play on the Milky Way And if that don't do I'll have to try something new I'll try something new I will bring you a flower from the floor of the sea To wear in your hair (Thank you) I'll do anything and every little thing to make you happy, boy To show you that I care I'll pretend I'm jealous of all the fellas And if that don't do Then I'll try something new I'll try something new
