[Verse]
Beckon the thousands of parrots
Come forth in their all-important arrogance
(Gravel in the mouth)
Wherever they find a hole to sit in
They congregate in the multitudes
Chattering on their perches
About the weather
Their boys
Or how in this forest
Their mountains could be bigger
And so could their braggarts
So could their braggarts

[Chorus]
The toys
The toys
They're wound up
Baby
They wanna get out
The toys
The toys
They wanna get out
The toys
The toys
They're wound up
Baby
They wanna get out
The toys
The toys
They wanna get out

[Verse]
So all the monkeys (Hey!)
Cymbals in hand (Yeah)
Bang and crash
Together in chorus
Each monkey chittering to the others
About how his cymbals are shinier
About how his hands are more supple
And how he can play his cymbals faster than any other
Which isn't saying much
Which isn't saying much
Not saying much
It's not saying much

[Chorus]
The toys
The toys
They're wound up
Baby
They wanna get out
The toys
The toys
They wanna get out
The toys
The toys
They're wound up
Baby
They wanna get out
The toys
The toys
They wanna get out

[Verse]
Beckon the throngs of primates
To step off of my cymbals
Step off of my cymbals
And all the monkeys
They repeat in unison
"Step off of my cymbals
Step off of my cymbals"
As they go on clattering on
Clattering on
On and on and on
And on and on and on
Step off of my cymbals
Step off of my cymbals
Step off of my cymbals
Step off of my cymbals
And on and on and on
And on and on and on

[Chorus]
The toys
The toys
They're wound up
Baby
They wanna get out
The toys
The toys
They wanna get out
The toys
The toys
They're wound up
Baby
They wanna get out
The toys
The toys
They wanna get out
Step off of my cymbals
Step off of my cymbals
Step off of my cymbals
Step off of my cymbals
The toys
The toys
They're wound up
Baby
They wanna get out
The toys
The toys
They wanna get out
The toys
The toys
They're wound up
Baby
They wanna get out
The toys
The toys
They wanna get out
Step off of my cymbals
Step off of my cymbals
Step off of my cymbals
Step off of my cymbals
The toys
The toys
They're wound up
Baby
They wanna get out
The toys
The toys
They wanna get out
The toys
The toys
They're wound up
Baby
They wanna get out
The toys
The toys
They wanna get out
Step off of my cymbals
Step off of my cymbals
Step off of my cymbals
Step off of my cymbals
