I Wish Lyrics

I wish I could travel to school today
By a train or in a plane
On a boat hey I 'd float
Or on a bus, there 'd be no fuss
But I have to choose
Walking in my shoes!

I wish I could travel to school today
In a sports car, I 'd be a star
On a motorbike or a trike
On a tram, there 'd be no traffic jams
But I have to choose
Walking in my shoes!

But I have to choose, walking in my shoes
But I have to choose, walking in my shoes
But I have to choose, walking in my shoes
But I have to choose, walking in my shoes
But I have to choose, walking in my shoes
But I have to choose, walking in my shoes
