Joni Mitchell - Shiny Toys Lyrics

Shiny toys, right on time, shiny toys, right on time, shiny toys

I'm readin' 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
Pictures of the winners in the latest rate poll 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

Walkin' on the beach at the end of the day
Between the sand and the seagulls
Watchin' 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, mmm, mmm
Whatever makes your time feel satisfyin'
Whatever makes you, mmm, mmm
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, shiny toys, right on time
Shiny toys, right on time, shiny toys, right on time
