       G       G/D
I'm a wind up toy
      C       C/G
In an up-down world
        D             D/A
If you leave me all alone
            G        G/D
I'll make a mess for sure

        G        G/D
I've a heart of gold
         C       C/G
In the smallest size
 D               D/A
Leave me in the dark
           G       G/D
You never hear me cry

Chorus:
G         G/D      C    C/G
More than an illustration
D          D/A   G    G/D
Points of articulation
G        G/D        C        C/G
Come to life on a brass spring
D       D/A       D7
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

Chorus:
You knew that I adored you
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
And 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

Chorus:
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 oldest son's wondering what to be
Tell him the story of a boy like me
