lyrics
At school, there was a boy
He had the latest, and greatest toy
He demonstrated, the children screamed
To press the button, this was his dream
Insert the batteries, and turn it on
Flashing lights, and a little song
The toy it dances, we are impressed
Push the button, so what is next?
The next day, another boy
Had a bigger, and better toy
He pressed the button, the children screamed
It smashed the other, to smithereens
When we play, pretend to die
When I say, come back to life
When we knew, that death was real
Our toys were shot, and cut with steel
Take em to the river
I’ve got my toys
Put em in the water
I’ve got my toys
Hit em with a hammer
I’ve got my toys
Put em in the fire
I’ve got my toys
My toys
My toys
My toys…
Take em to the river
I’ve got my toys
Put em in the water
I’ve got my toys
Hit em with a hammer
I’ve got my toys
Put em in the fire!
