   A                 A      A        D
A man lives at the corner of the street
         A                     A       A         D
And his neighbours think he's helpful and he's sweet
           D                  D7
'Cause he never swears and he always shakes you
 G   G   E
by the hand
     A                A     A   A
But no one knows he really is a
         D
Plastic man (Plastic man, plastic man)

He's got plastic heart, plastic teeth and toes
(Yeah, he's plastic man)
He's got plastic knees and a perfect plastic nose
(Yeah, he's plastic man)
He's got plastic lips that hide his
plastic teeth and gums
And plastic legs that reach up to his plastic bum
(Plastic bum)

Chorus:
  D      C   G       D
Plastic man got no brain
  D      C         G       D
Plastic man don't feel no pain
  D      C      F#       Bm
Plastic people look the same
 G      G    A
Yeah, yeah, yeah
 D         C       G           D
Kick his shin or tread on his face
 D        C       G          D
Pull his nose all over the place
    D          C    F#     Bm
He can't disfigure, or disgrace
G   G    A            A7            D
Plastic man (Plastic man, plastic man)

He's got plastic flowers growing up the walls
He eats plastic food with a plastic knife and fork
He likes plastic cups and saucers 'cause they
never break
And he likes to lick his gravy off a plastic plate

Chorus

He's got a plastic wife who wears a plastic mac
(Yeah, he's plastic man)
And his children wanna be plastic like their dad
(Yeah, he's plastic man)
He's got a phony smile that makes you think
he understands
But no one ever gets the truth from plastic
man (plastic man)

Plastic man (plastic man)
