I will not sell my toy collection If I did I would weep Who’s to say what you need and what you don’t On a desert island they’re the things I’ll keep
Some children had their parents read them stories Well I heard mine directly from the source Captain Kirk shared his tales and glories While fighting a deadly force
Who’s to say when you get older You don’t need a toy collection? Who’s to say when you get older That you have to follow convention?
Black beard told me of his troubled mother And with his songs he’d sing me off to sleep He said Superman was my real father And they gave me dreams that I still keep
Who’s to say when you get older You don’t need a toy collection? Who’s to say when you get older That you have to follow convention?
INSTRUMENTAL
Who’s to say when you get older You don’t need a toy collection? Who’s to say when you get older That you have to follow convention? That you have to follow convention?
