Plastic Man
Composer(s): Ray Davies
Performer(s): The Kinks



A man lives at the corner of the street
And his neighbors think he's helpful and he's sweet
'Cause he never swears and he always shakes you by the hand
But no one knows he really is a plastic man

He's got a plastic heart, plastic teeth and toes
(Yeah, he's plastic man)
He's got plastic knees and a perfect plastic nose
(Yeah, he's plastic man)
He's got plastic lips that hide his plastic teeth and gums
And plastic legs that reach up to his plastic bum (Plastic bum)

Plastic man got no brain
Plastic man don't feel no pain
Plastic people look the same
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Kick his shin or tread on his face
Pull his nose all over the place
You can't disfigure or disgrace
Plastic man (Plastic man)

He's got plastic flowers growing up the wall
He eats plastic food with a plastic knife and fork
He likes plastic cups and saucers 'cause they never break
And he likes to lick his gravy off a plastic plate

Plastic man got no brain
Plastic man don't feel no pain
Plastic people look the same
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Kick his shin or tread on his face
Pull his nose all over the place
You can't disfigure or disgrace
Plastic man (Plastic man)

He's got a plastic wife who wears a plastic mac
(Yeah, he's plastic man)
And his children wanna be plastic like their Dad
(Yeah, he's plastic man)
He's got a phony smile that makes you think he understands
But no one ever gets the truth from plastic man (Plastic man)

Plastic man (Plastic man, plastic man)
