I'm a wind up toy
In an up down world
If you leave me all alone
I'll make a mess for sure
I've a heart of gold
In the smallest size
Leave me in the dark
You never hear me cry
More than an illustration
Points of articulation
I Come to life on a brass spring
I'm such a wonderful plaything
It's a cruel cross that
I have to bear
If you come a little close
I'm going to pull your hair
More than just a toy
In a patched blue suit
Hold me in your arms
I'm just a boy like you
But your momma thought
There was something wrong
Didn't want you sleeping
With a boy too long
It's a serious thing
In a grown up world
Maybe you'd be better with a barbie girl
You knew that I adored ya
But you left me in Georgia
Toys are not sentimental
How could I be for rental
She's the meanest hag that has ever been
Pulled out my insides
With an old safety pin
I'm the sorest sight now
I feel like trash
Clothes are made of rags and
They don't even match
So she dressed me up as
The man she loved
Threw me in a box when
She had had enough
Now the light of day
I no longer see
She stuck her voodoo pins
Where my eyes used to be
Accidentally tragic
Victim of her black magic
Had a boy once who loved me
Now he's so afraid of me
On a long lost day when
You're gray and old
You'll be there remembering your old toy boy
When your only son's wondering what to be
Tell him the story of
A boy like me
