Origin

Verse 1
What if I was lost forever? Or I was Sid's to keep?
He'd twist me and stitch me and prod me and kick me, turn me into a freak.
I'd downright angry! Where was Andy? He left me to die in a ditch.
Where was Mr. Potato Head, Slinky and Rex, Etch-a-sketch and Bo Peep, what a witch!
Think I've gone a bit crazy! Alone in the dark, Sid's favorite plaything. He pulls me apart,
Puts me together again with some twine like a monstrous sheriff cowboy Frankenstein.
I remember the days, we'd stay up and play, you bumbling traitors you left me a stray
But now Woody is loose. I've got one thing to say, I'm coming for you and you're all gonna pay!
Chorus
Calm down Woody, we're your friends.
Shut up Buzz, I'll kill you!
Sorry pal but can we make amends?
Shut up Slink, I'm gonna kill you!
Why can't we just talk it out?
Not this time, Bo…
Woody, oh Woody, where have you been?
Too late Andy, I'm killing you slow!
Verse 2
Remember the time that you said you were mine we would play little westerns this sheriff would shine,
But you left me to rot in the house right next door and forgot I existed for that I am sure.
You deserve all the punishment you have in store and for all of the toys that are strewn on the floor.
From Dolly to Ducky to you Dinosaur, this whole bedroom is mine and I'll settle the score!
I'll clip Buzz's wings, snip the parachute strings, then I'll smash little Hamm to bits.
I'll overshake Etch-a-sketch, crack little Lenny and beat pretty Bo with her stick,
Decapitate Rocky like it was a hobby and take out and crash RC.
I'll make you remember the toy you forgot, for you had forsaken me!
Chorus
Calm down Woody, we're your friends.
Shut up Buzz, I'll kill you!
Sorry pal but can we make amends?
Shut up Slink, I'm gonna kill you!
Why can't we just talk it out?
Not this time, Bo…
Woody, oh Woody, where have you been?
Too late Andy, I'm killing you slow!
Verse 3
I've taken the toys out but where is that boy at. You said we would reach for the sky.
First, you rub in my face Buzz is taking my place then you leave me for that you must die!
Do you know what it's like to be under the knife? At least Sid gave me time of the day.
So much torture I learned to desensitize pain. Now, I guess, I see killing as play!
Andy come out and face me! I know that you're there! My mind is corrupted, no chance of repair.
Poor Molly is screaming. She knows that it's over. I know that you're frightened and scared,
But you left me to fester, unworthy protector. That Sid was horrendous. A Hannibal Lector,
Subjected to torture. This isn't conjecture like lambs to the slaughter an evil inventor. I'll kill you!
Chorus
Calm down Woody, we're your friends.
Shut up Buzz, I'll kill you!
Sorry pal but can we make amends?
Shut up Slink, I'm gonna kill you!
Why can't we just talk it out?
Not this time, Bo…
Woody, oh Woody, where have you been?
Too late Andy, I'm killing you slow!
