Toys Songtext
von Dan Bull

Yo, yo
Yo-yo

I knew I was a fully grown man, a true bloke
The moment I moved over to Lego from Duplo
I was beautifully naive, a little Rousseau
I didn′t follow instructions, to this day I rarely do so
It's true, bro, back then I never had a Cluedo
That I was musical
I didn′t do sports, I was too slow
There was no sudoku, I did lots of crosswords
Wordsearches, Where's Wally and dot to dots
No aerial in the TV, so there wasn't a lot to watch
My parents played with me, in a way to please Doctor Spock
To my mom and my dad I′m honoured to have, I wanna just thank you
With your support I′m rolling on top of the track, like Thomas The Tank do

Man, I love my toys
From action figures to puzzles, cards, stickers and games
Man, I love my toys
If I hadn't played, my imagination wouldn′t be the same


Before I could pour liquor or buy cigarettes in a shop
I had football stickers in a nice little deck that I swapped
Collecting the Pogs and I had loads of Tazos
No notion it was only a passing fad though
Nothing could distract me from the task in hand
Racking all my little cars up into one massive traffic jam
I wasn't a massive fan of Action Man, that lacked the tactics Dan was after
Tasks with grand strategy and a battle plan
See the scene, a sea of green plastic army men
Amassed on a carpet desert, the three piece suite was sweeping scenery
No need to make a Tracy Island, I had one in the first place
And that was F.A.B.
My fucking awesome birthday

Man, I love my toys
From action figures to puzzles, cards, stickers and games
Man, I love my toys
If I hadn′t played, my imagination wouldn't be the same

I′m in a stupid mood, the rudest dude
My language is that colourful, I twist it like a Rubik's cube
I made a bandana from my dad's tie, I think was purple
Can′t recall the name of that specific Ninja Turtle
Me, I′m on that line of Brio, kinda steelo
I roll it out then bring it sliding right back just like a Whee-Lo
I write these raps to open up your mind like Mighty Max
Stacking rhymes like Jenga bricks, until you hear a mighty crash
Flows crush you like the Stay Puft from Ghostbusters
As I transform a simple sentence into one of those punches
Some kids had a Happy Meal for most lunches
Let's just say they won′t be in Olympic host countries


Man, I love my toys
From action figures to puzzles, cards, stickers and games
Man, I love my toys
If I hadn't played, my imagination wouldn′t be the same

I had a Golliwog, to which I was a bit hostile
The way I played could make behaviourists watchful
Maybe I'm racist, don′t know what I got so pissed off for
Regarding races, racing cars, I had a big boxful
I used to burn them over candles with Chris Cottrill
And once I got a Lego cannonball stuck in my nostril
I love cyber pets of either sex, my Tamagotchi
Got treated, spoiled and overfed, he was hella podgy
Felt godly, I was the one to whom AI would look up
But I couldn't get my Furby to shut the fuck up
Kids, advertisers sell you shit they cook up
If you want a nostalgic trip, hit me up, I've got the hook up
I′ve got He-Man and She-Ra, I′ve got Trolls
They're called poseable action figurines, not dolls
It′s a shame that toys are frowned upon for adults
'Cause there′s nothing much for us
Except the rubber stuff at Ann Summers

Man, I love my toys
From action figures to puzzles, cards, stickers and games
Man, I love my toys
If I hadn't played my imagination wouldn′t be the same
Man, I love my toys

I'm just playing
Just toying with you
I was really jealous of my friend at first school
'Cause he had this Beetlejuice toy
And it was, it was a coffin or something
And you′d put, put the little model Beetlejuice inside
Closed it and opened it and he was gone
Missing
It was black magic
I wanted that shit so bad
