Boy Toy

Did I tell you I'm doing a one-woman cabaret next year? Here's song #2 for the show:  This one I conceived in it's basic form last Christmas: the first Christmas I was not at least dating somebody... well, ever.   It's a little bluesy, a little belty.

BOY TOY

I've spent a slew of long long years
searching for my perfect mate
Kissed a lot of frogs,
toyed with my food through lots of dinner dates

Through with men who love me but can't commit
I've scaled down my requirements quite a bit

I want a boy toy
Who'll treat me right
I want a boy toy
Who won't put up a fight
A strong and handsome honey
Who cares if he has money?
A boy toy, up all night.

    [repeat: instrumental]

I need a boy toy
I want a little pleasing  
A boy toy
Who can take a little teasing
A virile young buck
Who can come around and, with some luck
A boy toy, for some squeezing.

     [2nd time, vocal re-enters]

Though my friends and family may greet this news with shock
I don't need a lothario who's been around the block
I don't mind a little training, if he shows some aptitude
As long as he is hard-y, and always in the mood

I want a boy toy
Who has nothing to say  
(don't speak) Boy toy
Who's fun all night and day
Who cares if he's not brilliant
As long as he's resilient

     [1st ending]
My boy toy, come and play
     [go to repeat]

     [2nd ending]
My boy toy, come to your Momma today!
     [spoken]
Let's play.
