Lyrics

Friends say it's fine
Friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like rock and roll

I move like a cat
Charge like a ram
Sting like a bee
Babe I want to be your man

Well it's plain to see
You were meant for me
Yea I'm your boy
Your 20th century toy

20th century toy
I want to be your boy

20th century toy
I want to be your boy

20th century toy
I want to be your boy

20th century toy
I want to be your boy
