Well I'm floatin’ through a town one day And what do you think I see Two purple velvet ladies just as cool as they can be Said we’re the plastic cowboy’s wives and just who might you be But before I spoke the plastic cowboy came on up to me He was a real Plastic Nut Well I couldn’t help but noticin’ His silver-sequined suit Had a flashy mirrored necktie And a mirror on his boot And his glasses made of custard Were obtained from special roots And his big six-gun shone like the Sun But couldn’t really shoot Talkin’ bout a Plastic Man Well he said Hey, man, fall down in the sand Don’t make me tell you one more time Or I’ll drop you where you stand I said Hey, cowboy, I don’t really feel like dyin' I think I’ll just be on my way You can tell that I ain’t buyin' Talkin’ ’bout a Plastic Man Well I rode my satin horse Past this cowboy and his wives And wondered just what Plastic Nuts Are doin’ with their lives Turn around for one last look You can imagine my surprise The big mean Plastic Man was Cryin’ tears from his eyes He was a real sad Plastic Man
