Lyrics
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?
