Yo Yo Man

I'm a little tomboy, never felt free

I was tied to my job and tied to my people

Livin' like a chili bean in can

'Til along one day, come a yo-yo man

He went where he wanted and he did what he pleased

He never had it hard and the livin' come easy

Mighty good words from a mighty young man

Couldn't leave my home or my friends if I can

Be a yo-yo man at the playground, puttin' on a show

Talkin' to the little kids, a-listen to my yo-yo

Icy colas, Scooter Pie, sleepin' at the Y

So I left my home and I went out west

Headed up north to see which I liked best

Bright lights cities or your little dark towns?

Yo-yo man, he's gotta get around

I'm a-hitchin' for a ride when the traveling's free

All the city limits signs look alike to me

Travelin' lands like a yo-yo top

Once he gets to spinnin', well, he just can't stop

He's a yo-yo man at the playground, puttin' on a show

Talkin' to the little kids, a-listen to my yo-yo

Icy colas, Scooter Pie, sleepin' at the Y

Baby's in the cradle, cat's in the tree

Walkin' the dog don't mean a thing to me

'Round the world, been a long time gone

The rainy yo-yo may with a string that long

It's a yo-yo song at the playground, puttin' on a show

Talkin' to the little kids, a-listen to my yo-yo

Icy colas, Scooter Pie, sleepin' at the Y

(He's a yo-yo man)

Down at the playground, puttin' on a show

Talkin' to the little kids, a-listen to my yo-yo

Icy colas, Scooter Pie
