Tiny Steps - Elvis Costello, The Attractions

Muscle baby won’t let go

Weekend baby won’t say no

Is she an active beauty?

I should say so

Wooden bones and pretty lashes

Iodine for your baby’s gashes

Little tombs for your baby’s ashes

If something goes wrong

Tiny steps almost real

Tiny fingers you almost feel

Make her walk or make her kneel

Oh, she’s almost human beneath that Cuban heel

Who’s that down at the bottom of the garden?

Who’s that hiding underneath the sofa?

Who gets blamed whenever you’re in trouble?

She’s your friend and she’s your double

Tiny steps almost real

Tiny fingers you almost feel

Make her walk or make her kneel

Oh, she’s almost human beneath that Cuban heel

Pretty little fashion face

Pick anyone up off the shelf

Though you say it’s a disgrace

You know you owe it to yourself

You can even shop around

Though you won’t find any cheaper

She’s your baby now

You can keep her

Tiny steps almost real

Tiny fingers you almost feel

Make her walk or make her kneel

Oh, she’s almost human beneath that Cuban

Oh, she’s almost human beneath that Cuban

Oh, she’s almost human beneath that Cuban

Oh, she’s almost human beneath that Cuban…
