Happy I’m floating
Around on my feet now
You make me go dizzy
I’m weak at the knees
I feel like I’m walking
Round ten feet tall
Well you say I’m faking
And I say don’t worry
The way that I bubble
There’s something in the make
I feel like I’m walking
Round ten feet tall
Right, the chemistry is right
This boy has reached his height
The feeling just goes on and on…
From strength to strength
I’m ten feet long…
I feel like I’m walking
Round ten feet tall
