Make a wish when your necklace is turned
Make a wish you see a shooting star
Make a wish at 3:33
Make a wish crossing the railroad tracks

Wish for the moon, wish for the stars
Wish for clothes and a fancy car
Wish until your heart's content
Wish for that boy's unforgettable scent

Make a wish knocking on wood
Make a wish when salt is thrown
Make a wish when you score a wining touchdown
Make a wish on a four-leaf clover
Make a wish for that pot of sparkling gold
Make a wish when "I love you" is told

Wish for love
Wish for power
Wish for strength at that redeemable hour
Wish for happiness and immaterial things
Wish until your heart just starts to sing

Make a wish with a penny in a well
Make a wish with the chime of a silver bell
Make a wish with a lucky horseshoe
And make a wish on the smiling moon

But remember to be careful for what you wish for
Because someday it might come true
Even though you get what you want
You may still be a little blue
Wishing is for those who want it all
Wishing is for those who want to fly
Yet wishing will not get you by
This world is tough and hard
And wishing won't play the cards

But don't give up on wishing
Because as long as you try your hardest
Wishing may get you the farthest.
