Elvis Costello & The Attractions - Tiny Steps Lyrics

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 heel
