A Powerful Thing

When I was a toddler
 Daddy took the strap
 And said, "I'm gonna teach you, son
 How not to grow up like a sap"
 And every time he whacked me
 This message came across
 "Don't ever be an employee
 Always be the boss"
 And, Walker, can't you tell?
 I learned my lesson well
 ♪
 When I say "Dance", watch 'em dance
 When I say "Stop", see them stop
 When I say "Sing", hear them sing
 Power is a wonderful thing
 Yes, boss, I agree
 You certainly overpower me
 When I say "Laugh", hear 'em laugh
 When I say "Weep", watch 'em weep
 When I want noise, bells will ring
 Power is a beautiful thing
 Take Rita, for example
 She made all the magazines
 'Cause when Lindy landed home from France
 She kissed him first, but not by chance
 I staged that happy circumstance
 The first of many brilliant routines
 Now I know what humility means
 So, if I smile, say "Hello"
 But if I'm bored, off you go
 If I say "Jump", up you'll spring
 'Cause I've got power, you've got power
 Lots of power, tons of power
 And power is a powerful thing
 Take you, for example
 You're an honest man (I guess)
 But when I say lie (I lie)
 When I say cheat (I cheat)
 When I say steal (I steal)
 And what do you say? (Yes!)
 Say it again (Yes!)
 Louder please! (Yes...)
 So here's the deal, good old sport
 I'm the star you support
 If I'm mad, you'll feel my sting
 I'll kneel down and kiss your ring
 'Cause you're the subject and I'm the king
 But power corrupts (so I'm corruptible)
 Power destroys (but I'm indestructible)
 It's a fact that power is a powerful thing!
 Walker, sit down
