Lyrics
Make a Wish Upon a Bar
Jim Chase
Make a wish upon a bar
It doesn't matter who you are
You're gonna be a midnight star
When you make a wish (make a wish)
Make a wish upon a bar
You may find love, it's the essence of true romance
You can even learn how to do the latest cool rock and roll dance
Talk about the president, and who's doing what to who
Who just bought a brand new boat
But can't pay his union dues
When you make a wish upon a bar
It doesn't matter who you are
You're gonna be a midnight star
When you make a wish (make a wish)
Make a wish upon a bar
You may even find out the name of the school teacher's backdoor man
And who just fell in love, and who turned around and ran
Work all day and play all night, hold a pretty woman tight
Say the word and say it right
You might take her home tonight
When you make a wish upon a bar
It doesn't matter who you are
You're gonna be a midnight star
When you make a wish (make a wish)
Make a wish upon a bar
Instrumental
The great American meeting place
Where everybody knows your face
The latest word on how things are
Is gonna be heard in your local bar
When you make a wish upon a bar
It doesn't matter who you are
You're gonna be a midnight star
When you make a wish (make a wish)
Make a wish upon a bar
Make a wish upon a bar
