Lyrics
I ran to the end of the rainbow’s eye

there wasn’t any pot of gold

And there I found a friend who’s 2 feet tall

One hundred and four years old

Glomer is an orphan, he was left behind

And a lot like Punky, he was one of a kind

Punky Brewster

come on it’s just a fantasy, oh-oh, oh oh

Punky Brewster

I always want you here with me, I know oh-oh

Punky Brewster

No one is gonna understand

Punky Brewster

Together we’re the best of friends

Punky Brewster

I always want you here with me, you know oh-oh

Punky Brewster
