(Alright, Houston we are go.)

[Verse 1]
I want to try your shoes on
And wear them for a day
Learn to talk like you do
And say what I see
I'd talk like I knew something
That everyone wanted to hear

[Chorus]
But you're the Fonz (You're the Fonz) (2x)

[Verse 2]
The definition of icy
The measure of what's up
You could play the tuba
And everyone would clap
Well I can play the tuba
And they all just shake their heads

[Chorus]
Cause you're the Fonz (You're the Fonz) (4x)

[Bridge]
I know it’s over for me (3x)
I know it’s over

[Verse 3]
Drove my car to the top floor
And stood at the edge
When I woke up in Heaven
Looked down and no one cared
But when you pulled your own trigger
They all gathered around to watch

[Chorus]
Cause you're the Fonz (You're the Fonz) (4x)

[Outro]
Because you are the Fonz (You're the Fonz) (4x)
Because you are...
