Who will play with me today?   Who will be my partner?   Who’s the kid that floats around?   He’s a trouble starter   Who’s the kid that’s going through his mama’s pocket book and giving business to the ice cream man?   Call him Equal Thomas   I kinda wanna be him   No one else has met him ‘cause no one else can see him   But I can see him   Hiding in the closet   Setting things on fire   Playing hooky ever day   That’s Equal Thomas   Equal Thomas don’t mean to be braggin’ but one day he’ll be driving his daddy’s Volkswagon station wagon   Jumping over sprinklers   Tracking in the water   I caught him playing doctor with the neighbor’s daughter   Equal Thomas Ford is making dinner   Individual slices   Slather on the peanut butter   Packin’ Oscar Meyer in his Radio Flyer   Hookin’ up his Big Wheels   Now he’s a freedom rider   I can see him jumping over fences   Flying through the sky and talking about the weather there in California   Who will play with me today?   Who will be my partner?   Equal Thomas   Equal Thomas
