Toby's Invisible Friend (LIVE in Albuquerque)

V4.5-ALL

"Well, how 'bout we check back in on li'l Toby Bones..." "Hey there, Toby! Heh heh... Who's your invisible friend?" [Verse 1] Well, li'l Toby was click-clacking through the Abbey all day long, With his denim draped ribcage humming its little songs. See him nodding to the nothing standing right there at his side— Such a merry phantom playmate in his make-believing eyes! What a jolly clever skeleton with dreams so bright and kind, Gladdening the hallways with the whimsy of his mind! [Chorus 1] Oh Toby Bones, who's your invisible friend? Is he a pink dragon, or fluffy elephant? A shy little monster or a fluttering pixie? So long as you're happy, li'l Toby Bone-sy! [Verse 2] On Saturday the nuns took him out past the briars and the tombs, Where the toppled arches slumber 'neath root and moss and mushroom. Toby found a twisty relic—half a fossil, half a flesh— And he held it like a treasure, tucked inside his vest. Then he chattered to his “friend” there ’mid the ruins old and deep, Whispering happy woodland secrets only little Bones could keep! [Chorus 2] Oh Toby Bones, who's your invisible friend? Is he a leprechaun, or kitty with a grin? A cute pterodactyl or a singing bumblebee? So long as you're happy, li'l Toby Bone-sy! [Bridge] Ooooh, Toby's rattling sweeeetly, through the garden paths in bloom, Babbling to his confidante as he skips from room to room. And he’s laughing in the hallways, clutching tight his silly find— Off on playful, bright adventures that come dancing from his mind… [Chorus 3] Oh Toby Bones, who's your invisible friend? Is he a hobgoblin, or undead magician? A scuzzpunk hyena or skeleton boy like you? So long as you're safe... our Boney Buckaroo! [Outro] Oh Toby Bones, who's your invisible friend? Oh Toby... who is your friend? Oh Toby Bones, does he whisper back to you? Oh Toby, are you safe... our Boney Buckaroo? "Uh oh! Who is that? Heh heh!"
