David Bowie - Come And Buy My Toys Lyrics
Smiling girls and rosy boys
Come and buy my little toys
Monkeys made of gingerbread
And sugar horses painted red
Rich men's children running past
Golden hair and mud of many acres on their shoes
Gazing eyes and running wild
Past the stocks and over stiles
Kiss the window merry child
But come and buy my toys
You've watched your father plough the field with a ram's horn
Sowed it wide with peppercorn and furrowed with a bramble thorn
Reaped it with a sharpened scyth, threshed it with a quill
The miller told your father that he'd work it with the greatest will
Now your watching's over you must play with girls and boys
Come and buy my toys
You shall own a cambric shirt
You shall work your father's land
But now you shall play in the market square
Till you'll be a man
Smiling girls and rosy boys
Come and buy my little toys
Monkeys made of gingerbread
And sugar horses painted red

Madonna jacked the intro of this song! Listenhttps://youtu.be/gLFWRDsx5AI
Boy I love his voice. It makes you giggle. A quirky hipster with the voice of a weary old man.

I always felt and hoped this was John Renbourn on guitar, and it is! I found out recently. He went uncredited on the sleeve, what a great cooperation by two of my faves.
SziamiTV where did you find it was John Renbourn? I have not been able to find anyone who was credited with playing the guitar on this track, it would be good if it was proven to be John Renbourn.
@PeterDec24 Here is the article and a youtube link with an outtake of the first album with unmistakable Renbourn fingerpicking: https://thequietus.com/articles/22533-the-beatles-sgt-peppers-lonely-hearts-club-band-david-bowie-debut-review-anniversary and the outtake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Tu_gU4TZSI another article mentioning renbourn: https://bowiesongs.wordpress.com/category/david-bowie-st-lp-1967/
wow I have just heard this as soon as I heard the chords I knew that Maddona had sampled the guitar chords from this Bowie song and re-cut them to create Don't Tell Me www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRLHro9EPD0
Dirty Tuxedo it’s even in the same key!
Just watched the documentory of Bowie on BBC two, heard this song and bursted in tears......... Bowie's life, my life....
🙏🏻❤️
I discovered 'The Lost Words' by Robert Macfarlane and it brought me BACK here to the ENTIRE Images album, a MASTERPIECE. Two record set with fantastic cover.
the guitar part sounds a little like "dont tell me" from Madonna
She sampled the guitar part, apparently.
Was listening to this two days ago in a little pub in Yorkshire....beautiful!
Richard Mullins I wish I could have been there to drink a pint with you!
My go to for hi-fi testing. And i've bought a few! That bass.
I would like to know who is picking the guitar here, is it David?
Its John Renbourne who later went on to be in Pentangle
Guitarist here: https://youtu.be/DIOiSWd8p6Q
my favourite Bowie song! 😎 x
sounds like Madonna sampled this in her song"Tell Me"
Dustin Emmett She absolutely did.
You're so right
Dustin Emmett I thought I was the only one who caught that!
I love this so much!!!
Having dug out all my late brother in law's original vinyl yesterday, this is now my favourite Bowie song. (subject to change as I go through the L.Ps)
