[Intro]
Shiny toys (right on time)
Shiny toys (right on time)
Shiny toys
[Verse 1]
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 rate poll games
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Whatever makes you "Yahoo!"
Whatever makes your time feel satisfying
Whatever makes you ("oh, I'm so excited")
Whatever makes you feel like you're right on time
[Chorus]
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?
[Bridge]
Shiny toys ("I love my Porsche")
Shiny toys ("I love my Porsche")
Shiny toys
Simple joys
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Whatever makes you ("mmm, mmm!")
Whatever makes your time feel satisfying
Whatever makes you ("mmmm, mmmmm!")
Whatever makes you feel like you're right on time
[Chorus]
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?
[Outro]
Shiny toys (right on time)
Shiny toys (right on time)
Shiny toys (right on time)
Shiny toys (right on time)
