Toy Boy

  D                 G
I'm a wind-up toy in an up-down 
world
       A
If you leave me all alone, I'll make
 a
A4
Mess for sure
       D                    G
I've a heart of gold in the smallest
 size
A                                  
Leave me in the dark, you'll never 
A4
hear me
Cry

D                 G
More than an illustration
A               A4
Points of articulation
D                 G
Come to life on a brass spring
A
Such a wonderful plaything

       D                  G
It's a cruel cross that I have to 
bear
       A
If you come a little close I'm going
 to
A4
Pull your hair
          D               G
More than just a toy in a patched 
blue suit
A                               
Hold me in your arms I'm just a boy

You

D                 G
But your momma thought there was 
something wrong
       A                          
Didn't want you sleeping with a boy 
A4
too long

     D                    G
It's a serious thing in a grown-up 
world

A                                  
Maybe you'd be better with a Barbie
A4
 girl

D                G
You knew that I adored ya
A             A4
But you left me in Georgia
D                 G
Toys are not sentimental

A
How could I be for rental?
       D                  G
She's the meanest hag that has ever 
been
A                               
Pulled out my insides with an old 
A4
safety pin
       D                    G
I'm the sorest sight, now I feel 
like trash

A                                 
Clothes made of rags and they 
  A4
don't even match

D                 G
So she dressed me up as the man she 
loved
 A                            A4
And threw me in a box when she had 
had enough
D                            G
Now the light of day I no longer see
A                             A4
She stuck her voodoo pins where my 
eyes used to be
D                G
Accidentally tragic
A             A4
Victim of her black magic

D                 G
I had a boy once who loved me
 A
Now he's so afraid of me

D                 G
On a long lost day, when you're grey
 and old
       A                          
You'll be there remembering your old
A4
 toy boy
     D                 G
When your only son's wondering what 
to be
A                          A4
Tell him the story of a boy like me
