Brian Robbins: Music
Plastic Girl
(Brian Robbins Band)
2003
Brian Robbins (ASCAP)
Inspired, believe it or not, by "The Girl from Ipanema." Of course, in my song of unrequited love, the object of attention is a department store mannequin. The ending is a bit of a joke on Lou Reed's timeless "Take a Walk on the Wild Side"
PLASTIC GIRL
Words and Music – Brian Robbins
Album - ON
got airbrushed lip, and a manicured tongue
got velcro hip, and a beach ball sun
and everyday I pass you by, you never turn your head
and on the night I catch your eye, gonna sing you what I said
hey, my plastic girl, I wrote a little song for you
hey, my elastic girl, I wrote these words for you
gonna tell me ‘bout your family, and your life inside this giant shoe store
gonna tell me ‘bout the weekend, meet, freak, speak some more
you know half the world’s crazy, and you never know, today could be the day the whole world ends
so come on baby, let’s not just be friends
hey, my plastic girl, I wrote a little song for you
hey, my elastic girl, I wrote these words for you
