Your maker gave you a spine, she said
But still you hang from a line
If you can't stand on your own
You ain't no godson of mine

Some things cannot be denied, she said
You ain't got nothing to hide
Don't tell me things that aren't true
I'll always know if you lied

You've got to follow your nose
And see the reasons it grows
And very soon you will find
There's something under your clothes

She said you've got to be good
and do the things that you should
You want to be a real boy
Show me the wood

Don't you take me for a ride, she said
Might get a splinter inside
You want to show me you're brave
Here's something you've never tried

She said I came here for you
And fairies got their needs too
You want to get you some flesh
I think you know what to do

She said it's time to get wise
And slip out of the disguise
And when the twig meets its match
We'll make the temperature rise

She said let's see who's been good
Check out what's under the hood
You want to be a real boy
Show me the wood

She said:
No you're not like other guys
Come on and tell me some lies
And if the truth should come out
We'll watch it double in size

She said you've got to be good
and do the things that you should
You want to be a real boy
Show me the wood
