Verse 1
Everyone’s telling you what to do
Everyone’s selling you sticky glue.
Telling you what to do, how to do
Sticking you with sticky glue
Verse 2
(repeat verse 1)
Chorus
Icky sticky glue – sticks to you
Icky sticky glue – sticks to you
Verse 3
Everyone’s telling us what to do
Telling us how to do what to who
Telling me got to be just like you
Don’t step into the sticky glue
Chorus
Bridge
Well it’s time – to stick it to the sticky glue
Time to find – and do what pleases you
Don’t be afraid – to try something new
It’s the only way – to use the sticky glue
Chorus
