I'm a wind-up toy in an up down world
        A                              Asus4
If you leave me all alone, I'll make a mess for sure
       D                    G
I've a heart of gold in the smallest size
A                                  Asus4
Leave me in the dark, you'll never hear me cry

D                G
More than an illustration
A               Asus4
Points of articulation
D                 G
Come to life on a brass spring
A                Asus4
Such a wonderful plaything

       D                  G
It's a cruel cross that I have to bear
        A                              Asus4
If you come a little close I'm going to pull your hair
          D                G
More than just a toy in a patch-blue suit
        A                       Asus4
Hold me in your arms I'm just a boy like you

         D                      G
But your mama thought there was somethin' wrong
A                               Asus4
Didn't want you sleeping with a boy too long
       D                   G
It's a serious thing in a grown-up world
A                            Asus4
Maybe you'd be better with a Barbie girl

D               G
You knew that I adored ya
A                  Asus4
But you left me in Georgia
D            G
Toys are not sentimental
A                  Asus4
How could I be for rental?

          D                    G
She's the meanest hag that has ever been
A                             Asus4
Pulled out my insides with an old safety pin
        D                   G
I'm the sorest sight, now I feel like trash
A                                       Asus4
Clothes are made of rags and they don't even match

       D                    G
So she dressed me up as the man she loved
     A                          Asus4
Then threw me in a box when she had had enough
        D              G
Now the light of day I no longer see
    A                                   Asus4
She stuck her voodoo pins where my eyes used to be

D            G
Accidentally tragic
A                   Asus4
Victim of her black magic
D                  G
Had a boy once who loved me
A                     Asus4
Now he's so afraid of me

     D                         G
On a long lost day when you're gray and dull
          A                          Asus4
You'll be there remembering your old toy boy
          D                    G
When your oldest son wonderin' what to be
A                       Asus4
Tell him the story of a boy like me
