Owsley – Sonny Boy
Transposed by Lisa, MnHansonFan@hanson.net
Take Sonny, he’s a
real go-getter
A r
egular man about
town
He’s got the world revolving
around the music
And
keeping his ear to the
ground
He falls asleep behind his
dark sunglasses
And
whispers the words with a
smile
D I double G, I l
ove ya, baby
I
ain’t seen your face in a
while
She ain’t keeping score, he don’t owe her anything
But she ain’t gonna sit around
Waiting for the phone to ring
Chorus:
Sonny Boy, don’t t
ake your toys a
way
Save them for a
rainy day, yea, yea, yea
An IOU could b
reak her heart in t
wo
She thought you were the
real McCoy, Sonny Boy
He’s got his servant and his
own dumbwaiter
To answer the phone when you
call
Sorry, Sonny’s undern
eath the weather
Try him back later next
fall
The boss called him out to
California
Let
Hollywood make you a s
tar
Now he’s on the Music
Television
And
driving a Cadillac c
ar
Funny how fame and money does what it can
To bring about change in the boy
The clothes don’t make the man
Chorus:
Sonny Boy, don’t t
ake your toys a
way
Save them for a
rainy day, yea, yea, yea
An IOU could b
reak her heart in t
wo
She thought you were the
real McCoy, Sonny Boy
o
ooh oh
oh
It’s a
game you just can’t
win O
oooh oh o
h
Though it n
ever will be the same a
gain
F
air-weather friend
G A D C, G A D C… Am D
I don’t think we’ve heard the l
ast of Sonny
He
can’t get it off of his
mind
He wants to laugh, but he don’t
think it’s funny
A c
onscience can turn on a
dime
When he was a boy, they taught him the Golden Rule
Take him for anything, but d
on’t take him for a fool
Chorus:
Sonny Boy, don’t t
ake your toys a
way
Save them for a
rainy day, yea, yea, yea
An IOU could b
reak her heart in t
wo
She thought you were the
real McCoy, Sonny Boy
