lyrics

A wooden little knick knack
He didn't want to be that
People in the store wanted bigger, wanted more
Than just a wooden little knick knack

A wooden little knick knack
He didn't have to take that
They pushed him to the back
They beat him 'till he cracked
He's just a wooden little knick knack

In came Benny Mac
A kind old chef
Hoping to find some things to blend
Instead Benny found a friend

A wooden little knick knack
He filled a little back pack
And then he said "Goodbye!"
And for the first time saw the sky,
'Cause he's a wooden little knick knack

A wooden little knick knack
Never would he look back
At all the other stuff
Who would always treat him rought
Who would always give him guff
He'd taken quite enough
For he's a wooden little knick knack.
