Grasshopper Songtext
von Jill Jackson

Don′t think that I'd forget when
You took me out to get my first guitar
Still have a text that you sent
Said I am your special superstar
I hope you understand
I am the way I am because of you
I know that over time
I′ve probably bled you dry
Isn't that what children are supposed to do

We built the fence and you built the home
And I left a mess as you watched me grow
Up up away
Thats how it's meant to be
You tell a joke as I turn away
To light up a smoke
I laugh any way
Coocoocachoo...
You bring out the best in me


Nightshift in your taxi
I wonder when you′re travelling around
Do you think good thoughts about me
Like when I taught you blanket on the ground
Saturdays we′d go to pinnochio's for a treat
I know that was because I no longer was
The baby of the family

We built the fence and you built the home
And I left a mess as you watched me grow
Up up away
Thats how it′s meant to be
You tell a joke as I turn away
To light up a smoke
I laugh any way
Coocoocachoo...
You bring out the best in me

I haven't always been the perfect daughter
But I hope I′ll always be
Your little grasshopper
Your little grasshopper
Hopper yeh
Ooh ooh oooh


We built the fence and you built the home
And I left a mess as you watched me grow
Up up away
Thats how it's meant to be
You tell a joke as I turn away
To light up a smoke
I laugh any way
Coocoocachoo...
You bring out the best in me

We built the fence and you built the home
And I left a mess as you watched me grow
Up up away
Thats how it′s meant to be
You tell a joke as I turn away
To light up a smoke
I laugh any way
Coocoocachoo...
You bring out the best in me
