I’m a little tomboy, never felt free
I was tied to my job and tied to my people
Livin’ like a chili bean in can
‘Til along one day, come a yo-yo man
He went where he wanted and he did what he pleased
He never had it hard and the livin’ come easy
Mighty good words from a mighty young man
Couldn’t leave my home or my friends if I can
Be a yo-yo man at the playground, puttin’ on a show
Talkin’ to the little kids, a-listen to my yo-yo
I see colas, Scooter Pie, sleepin’ at the Y
So I left my home and I went out west
Headed up north to see which I liked best
Bright lights cities or your little dark towns?
Yo-yo man, he’s gotta get around
I’m a-hitchin’ for a ride when the traveling’s free
All the city limits signs look alike to me
Travelin’ lands like a yo-yo top
Once he gets to spinnin’, well, he just can’t stop
He’s a yo-yo man at the playground, puttin’ on a show
Talkin’ to the little kids, a-listen to my yo-yo
I see colas, Scooter Pie, sleepin’ at the Y
Baby’s in the cradle, cat’s in the tree
Walkin’ the dog don’t mean a thing to me
‘Round the world, been a long time gone
The rainy yo-yo may with a string that long
It’s a yo-yo song at the playground, puttin’ on a show
Talkin’ to the little kids, a-listen to my yo-yo
I see colas, Scooter Pie, sleepin’ at the Y
(He’s a yo-yo man)
Down at the playground, puttin’ on a show
Talkin’ to the little kids, a-listen to my yo-yo
I see colas, Scooter Pie
