I Throw My Toys Around

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I've got no time for fairy stories

I'm not a little girl

So you can leave me all alone

And turn off the lights as well

If you were frightened

Then listen:

But I don't think you'd like it

Such a nice kid

Nobody's lookin' now

I throw my toys around

Somebody's bein' very bad

I wonder who it can be

Somebody's goin' to get in trouble

I know it isn't me

I'm just a little angel

But you don't know what I've done

When your back's turned

Nobody's lookin' now

I throw my toys around

Pick up those building blocks

Chop off the baby's locks

Swing dolly by the hair

Put down that teddy bear

Slam dunk that happy clown

I throw my toys around

I've got no time for bedtime stories

I'm not a little child

Everything makes me furious

And everything makes me wild

If you were frightened

Then whistle:

And they'll come runnin' to you

As you boo-hoo

Nobody's looking now

I throw my toys around

I throw my toys around
