lyrics

I just blew out the fifty candles burning on my birthday cake
Then closed my eyes to summon some desire
I couldn't think of what I wanted so there's no wish that I could make
Nothing floats my boat, nothing lights my fire
There's folks who've made their list of things to do before they die
The one I made consists of things I'm never gonna try

CHORUS
I don't wanna swim with dolphins or sky-dive from an aeroplane
And bungee jump whitewater rafting's for the clinically insane
Don't wanna walk the wall in China and you can keep your Taj Mahal
I ain't no Everest mountain climber, that don't sound like fun at all

But I still fill out my numbers in the lottery each time
I say a little prayer and check them one by one
Though I have not hit the jackpot yet but I ain't through with trying
What would I do with all that money if I won?
I have friends who've made their plans on how they'd spend that kind of dough
If you ask me what I'd buy with it I'd tell you "I don't know"

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
I don't wanna meet my heroes or get a selfie with the stars
They might smile and sign your T-shirt but they don't care who you are
I don't wanna play Augusta National, don't wanna meet the English Queen
Don't wanna be the centre forward for my favourite football team

You can run the bulls down at Pamplona, cruise the Nile past the pyramids
Or drive a NASCAR at Daytona, stuff to tell to your grandkids
Complete a twenty-six mile marathon if you’re not too old and fat
And then you can learn a foreign language but what the hell’s the use of that
Yeah, before you kick the bucket there's so much to do and see
But I don't give a f**k it don't make you interesting to me

REPEAT CHORUS
I ain't no Everest mountain climber
In fact it seems more fun to fall
