Strum
D-DU-UDU
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
 (Same)
 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?
 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?
