You’re like a windup toy That winds in the night And flies into action early in the morning You’re like a windup toy With emotions Big emotions Zooming through the air towards me with so much force that I have to hold onto things to stop me from whizzing away You’re like a windup toy A dog with a bone A bat with a ball Never stopping until the lights go off You’re like a windup toy which tells me it’s every move I’m going over here mummy I’m drawing you a picture mummy I just did a fart mummy I’m hungry mummy Windup toys don’t have a pause button Windup toys suddenly move when I thought they had run out of energy, making me jump Windup toys don’t shout as loud as possible at 6 in the morning. I’m glad you’re not a windup toy really but sometimes it would be good just to have time to pause so I can windup too.
