Greatest Expectations

The thing about Jonathan
He's never ever satisfied
He can never get enough
There he goes rushing in
Always ready to take that dive
Wonder what he's thinking of

He'll be waking up bright and early
All three feet tall so wise and worldly
And that's not all
He's Rocket Man way up high
Jumping off the wire
There he goes see him fly
Through blazing rings of fire

Gimme the greatest expectations
Gimme the greatest show on earth
Gimme the greatest expectations
Gimme the brightest gimme the wildest
Gimme the greatest show on earth

The thing about Jonathan
He's bound to get a broken heart
Bound to have a broken dream
Trouble comes crashing in
And everything falls apart
It's never quite what it seems

He'll be getting up tired and weary
At six feet tall and seeing clearly
And after all
He's Rocket Man way up high
Jumping off the wire
There he goes see him fly
On blazing wings of fire

Gimme the greatest expectations
Gimme the greatest show on earth
Gimme the greatest expectations
Gimme the brightest gimme the wildest
Gimme the greatest show on earth
Gimme the greatest show on earth

Gimme the greatest expectations
Gimme the greatest show on earth
The greatest show
The greatest show
The greatest show on earth

Gimme the greatest expectations
Gimme the greatest show on earth
Gimme the greatest expectations
Gimme the brightest gimme the wildest
Gimme the greatest show on earth
Gimme the greatest show on earth
Gimme the greatest show on earth
Gimme the greatest show on earth
