[Chorus]
Can we pretend that
Airplanes in the night sky are like
Shooting stars? I could really use a
Wish right now, wish right now
Wish right now, can we pretend that
Airplanes in the night sky are like
Shooting stars? I could really use a
Wish right now, wish right now
Wish right now

[Verse 1]
It's been one week since you looked at me
Cocked your head to the side and said, "I'm angry"
Five days since you laughed at me, saying
"Get back together, come back and see me"
Three days since the living room
I realized it's all my fault, but couldn't tell you
Yesterday, you'd forgiven me
But it'll still be two days 'til I say I'm sorry
Hold it now and watch the hoodwink
As I make you stop, think
You'll think you're looking at Aquaman
I summon fish to the dish, although I like the Chalet Swiss
I like the sushi 'cause it's never touched a frying pan
Hot like wasabi when I bust rhymes
Big like LeAnn Rimes, because I'm all about value
Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits
You try to match wits, you try to hold me but I bust through
Gonna make a break and take a fake
I'd like a stinking aching shake
I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavours
Gotta see the show, 'cause then you'll know
The vertigo is gonna grow
'Cause it's so dangerous, you'll have to sign a waiver

[Pre-Chorus]
How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad?
Trying hard not to smile, though I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean? Well, you soon will

[Chorus]
Can we pretend that
Airplanes in the night sky are like
Shooting stars? I could really use a
Wish right now, wish right now
Wish right now, can we pretend that
Airplanes in the night sky are like
Shooting stars? I could really use a
Wish right now, wish right now
Wish right now

[Verse 2]
Chickity China, the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watching X-Files with no lights on
We're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford, I'm getting frantic
Like Sting, I'm tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy
Like Kurosawa, I make mad films, 'kay, I don't make films
But if I did they'd have a Samurai
Gonna get a set of better clubs
Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs
Just so my irons aren't always flying off the back-swing
Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
'Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes
That make me think the wrong thing

[Pre-Chorus: Ed Robertson & Steven Page]
How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad?
Trying hard not to smile, though I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean? You soon will

[Chorus]
Can we pretend that
Airplanes in the night sky are like
Shooting stars? I could really use a
Wish right now, wish right now
Wish right now, can we pretend that
Airplanes in the night sky are like
Shooting stars? I could really use a
Wish right now, wish right now
Wish right now
Can we pretend that
Airplanes in the night sky are like (around the world)
Shooting stars? I could really use a (around the world)
Wish right now, wish right now (around the world)
Wish right now, can we pretend that (around the world)
Airplanes in the night sky are like (around the world)
Shooting stars? I could really use a (around the world)
Wish right now, wish right now (around the world)
Wish right now (around the world)
Can we pretend that
Airplanes in the night sky are like (chickity China, the Chinese chicken)
Shooting stars? I could really use a (chickity China, the Chinese chicken)
Wish right now, wish right now (chickity China, the Chinese chicken)
Wish right now, can we pretend that (chickity China, the Chinese chicken)
Airplanes in the night sky are like (chickity China, the Chinese chicken)
Shooting stars? I could really use a (chickity China, the Chinese chicken)
Wish right now, wish right now (chickity China, the Chinese chicken)
Wish right now (chickity China, the Chinese chicken)

[Outro]
I could really use a wish right now
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I, I, I could really use a wish right now
(Mm) Like, like
Like shooting stars (Ah)
I, I could
I could, I could really use a wish right now (chickity China, the Chinese chicken)
