A little boy eight years old
In a semi-circle eyes aglow
Our teacher told us stories every day
Huck Finn on the Mississippi
Fire breathin' dragons
With my friends with me
From our homeroom to the Milky Way
We were lost among the pages
And in the voice of Mrs. Davis she said
Words are your wheels
To take you anywhere you feel
Where you can laugh or you can cry
And let your imagination fly
Let it lead you where it will
Your mind is an automobile
And words are your wheels
There's an old man with all he's done
In his 98 laps around the sun
Somehow he never learned to read or write
And there's a kind soul who's had the pleasure
Of helping him tie the words together
It's never too late to change a life
Now there's a smile on his face
And there's a young heart standing in his place
Words are your wheels
To take you anywhere you feel
Where you can laugh or you can cry
Let your imagination fly
Let it lead you where it will
Your mind is an automobile
And words are your wheels
Don't need a rocketship
No red balloon to take a trip
The pages on your fingertips alone
Take you where you want to go
Words are you wheels
Words are your wheels
To take you anywhere you feel
Where you can laugh and you can cry
Let your imagination fly
Let it take you where it will
Your mind is an automobile
And words are your wheels
Words are you wheels
Words are you wheels
Words are your wheels
Oh words are your wheels oh
