Lyrics:
if i had a hammeri'd wake up my neighborspounding out a rhythmall about youif i had a pencili'd push me some paperi'd build a skyscraperto get close to youif i had a lassoi'd sail out the windowand land on an islandnext to youif i had a hot rodi'd fasten up my seatbeltand break the speed limitgettin' to youbut i ain't got a hammerand i ain't got a penciland i ain't got a lassoso i'm doing it the hard waylike a post post-modern manif i had a credit cardi'd clear me a pathwaythrough the deepest jungleright to your doorif i had a camerai'd snap away my fingersand collect up the picturesof you of coursebut i ain't got a hot rodand i ain't got a credit cardno chance for a cameraso i'm doing it the hard waylike a post post-modern manwell i ain't got a hammerand i ain't got a lassono chance for a cameraso i'm doing it the hard way
