Joni Mitchell - SHINY TOYS lyrics

Shiny toys--right on time

Shiny toys

I'm reading people rags in the checkout lane

Look, here's a hunk--here's a honey

Celebrated people and their claims to fame

Here's a boy and his money

And pictures of the winners in the latest

Ratepoll games

Whatever makes you "Yahoo"

Whatever makes your time feel satisfyin'

Whatever makes you

"Oh I'm so excited"

Whatever makes you feel like you're right on time

Party night

Good bands all over town

(good, good, good)

Mega lights and supersonic sounds

(good, good, good)

Flashy boys and girls that really play

(good, good, good)

Shiny toys, when it's over don't you

hate to have to put your toys away

Shiny toys--"I love my Porsche"

Shiny toys

Shiny toys--"I love my Porsche"

Shiny toys

Simple joys

Walking on the beach at the end of the day

Between the sand and the seagulls

Watching the glorious sun setting on the bay

Here comes a boy and his beagle

Walking with a man in a toupee

And a man with his head shaved

Whatever makes you "Mmmm, mmmm"

Whatever makes your time feel satisfyin'

Whatever makes you "Mmmmm, mmmm"

Whatever makes you feel like you're right on time

Party night

Super bands all over town

(good, good, good)

Super lights and supersonic sounds

(good, good, good)

Flashy boys and girls that really play

(good, good, good)

Shiny toys, when it's over

Don't you hate to have to put your toys away

Shiny toys--right on time

Shiny toys--right on time

Shiny toys--right on time
