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 Blackbeard 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 La, la, la, la, la 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
