Dan Bull - Toys lyrics

Yo, 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 want to 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 FAB a 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 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, spoilt 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 at first school
'cause he had this beetlejuice toy
And it was it was a coffin, or something
And you put put a little
Model of Beetlejuice inside
Closed it and opened it and he was gone!
Missing! Black magic
I wanted that shit so bad
