tim minchin - greed (balsa wood and glue) lyrics
when i was a young chap, just a little bouncing boy; my family was not wealthy so i had to make do with second-hand pyjamas and a single wooden toy. a dinosaur my daddy made with balsa wood and glue.
but when i turned 13, and to high school off i trotted, i knew imediately that my dino wouldn’t do ‘cuz i had noticed all the toys the other boys had gotted and i couldn’t help myself i wished that i had got them to
my daddy made a dinosaur with balsa wood and glue but before too long i knew that my dino wouldn’t do
when i was 15 years old i first turned to thievin’ to satiate my cravin’ to have things the other kids had i stole a gnarly skateboard form a skateboard shop one evening it had bodacious fluero railing and a wickid fluero skidpad
by the following monday mornin’ the skateboardin’ turned to boredom my appet-te for skatin’ was abatend(?) in a flash so i sold my board and bought a pair of flippers and a snorkel but soon i borked at snorkeling, forked my snorkel in the trash
my daddy made a dinosaur with balsa wood and glue but before too long i knew that my dino wouldn’t do
at 18 i managed hedge funds and got fat by drinking beer at 20 i owned 7 cars and houses on the coast i fell in love at 23, with a swedish girl called mia i bought a 200 quid toaster with which mia made me toast
at 28 i went through like a buddhist kind of thing and decided that the matieral world and i were through i hooked up with some buddhist chicks who said that theyw ere twins but they didn’t look that similiar and they did stuff twins don’t do
my daddy made a dinosaur with balsa wood and glue but before too long i knew that my dino wouldn’t do
but now i’m 47 stone and 31 years old i have a kitchen staff of 12 on call 24 hours a day and a page 3 girl i payed to lick chocoate from my folds and a rent boy called lewellen though i’m neither welsh nor gay
now to those who judge my lifestyle to be gluttonous and brash and critize my access acquisition and consumption i say that critics of the wealthy are just those who don’t have cash and who have never had a prosit-te spread marmite on their scr-t-m
my daddy made a dinosaur with balsa wood and glue but before too long i knew that my dino wouldn’t do
my father died a year ago to dust he’s now returned and i found my wooden dinosaur which all these years have lasted and i cremated it and put it with dads ashes in an urn below a grave stone with three words on it “stingy barst-dad”
my daddy made a dinosaur with balsa wood ands glue which is all very quaint but i’d rather eat par-guay(?) inside a porsche
