lyrics

I've got work today at 4pm at the toy store.
"Selling children crap that they don't need."
It's gonna be a zoo today - we've got a sale for the holidays.
"You should call in sick to hang out and smoke weed"

But that girl works today, so today I'm gonna go. Because when I see her face, my face starts to glow. How can I concentrate on Brio trains and Lego, when all I want to know is:

Am I zany enough for you? Am I brainy enough for you? They don't pay me enough to do everything I wanna do with you. But maybe when we get out of here, you'll let me buy you a beer and whisper sweet nothings in your ear. Will you?

You look so pretty stocking the Hello Kitty.
"Hey Chadd, you know she could be your girl"
Now we're both out on the floor, walking around the store
"Right now it might as well be the whole world"

We've got to close tonight, and this place is such a mess. We'll be stuck here until midnight, because the weary get no rest. What we'll do after that is anybody's guess. I've got a few things to suggest.

Am I zany enough for you? Am I brainy enough for you? I'm just crazy enough to do anything in the world for you. So let me know what you want done, or if you want me to skip lunch, or how high you want me to jump for you.

My manager told me that I'm a great salesman, so why can't I sell my heart to you? The value is just wonderful, but it's so non-refundable, and it'll probably just break in a day or two.

Am I zany enough for you? Am I brainy enough for you? Oh Amy, I wanna do everything in the world with you. So hang out with me for a while in the Beanie Baby aisle, because I love to look at your smile. I do.
