Legoman - Pete O'Connell
The sky was dark and far below
The suburb slept all systems go
And though all of the lights are down
Through all the homes across the town
It seems the kid's a leggo poet
Building up some walls to live in
Round the clock since Christmas day
He's making now a plastic chimney
That will later be a car
The kid is such and architect
Smoothing pieces round the table
Choosing blocks he'll gently put
A church into the city square
He was made to feel this world is risky
His wall's getting higher all day
All to high his parents say
And it's all so well combined
That he's getting hard to find
"Leggo men like me
Are so hard to see"
He's building streets all full of life
And now he sees a shortage is starting
"Dad, I need more leggo please"
His parents at the door are pleading
Sliding sets into the slot
But he won't leave his room today
He's just outgrown his baby-soother
He aspires to be a man
He's ready he's a leggo man
Scattered pieces on the floor
Are covering his bedroom now
He's building blocks and blocks throughout
To turn his room all inside out
His scheme is so refined
It's all so well designed
"Leggo men like me
Are so hard to see"
The kid he takes a break and plays
Withing his coloured portico
He's building more and without fail
Plastic toads croak through his city
Miles and miles of blocks and blocks
He's tall within his leggo walls
The kid is out of sight
He's building day and night
"Leggo men like me
Are so hard to see"
