Like a thumb in a rubber glove
Or a moonrock in the sky above
I'm thinking, could it be that I'm falling in love?
Like a Chunky or a Charleston Chew
Like shoe crab soup or chicken stew
Like Cinderella's other shoe, I just wanna be next to you

I wanna be, I wanna be next to you
I wanna be, I wanna be next to you

Like a palindrome or a friend indeed, like wow, or Tara Key
It seems I always need reminding what a fool believes
Like Horton hearing a Who
Like everything old becoming new
Like looking out for number two
I just wanna be next to you

I wanna be, I wanna be next to you
Yeah, I wanna be, I wanna be next to you

Like Dr. Tom, like Mr. Met
Like Professor Frink, like a Chia pet
Like Eddie Bo, like Bob Levito
Like Jill Talley, like Don Cheadle

Wanna be next to you
Wanna be next to you
Wanna be next to you
Wanna be next to you
Like eating ribs with Calvin Trillin
Like Timothy Carey in The Killing
Like Steve Coogan and Rebecca Front
Like Jefferson Airplane except no Grunt

Wanna be next to you
Wanna be next to you
Wanna be next to you
Wanna be next to you
