Owwww!!
Friends say it's fine
Friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like robin hood
I move like a cat
Charge like a ram
Sting like a bee
Babe, i wanna be your man
Well it's plain to see
You were meant for me
Yeah, i'm your toy
Your 20th century boy
Friends say it's fine
Friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like rock 'n' roll
Fly like a plane
Drive like a car
Bawl like a hound
Babe, i wanna be your man
20th century boy
I wanna be your toy
20th century boy
I wanna be your toy
Friends say it's fine
Friends say it's good
Everbody says it's just like robin hood
I move like a cat
Charge like a ram
Sting like a bee
Babe, i wanna be your man
20th century boy
I wanna be your toy
20th century toy
I wanna be your boy
