lyrics

I'm the plan-stealer, I'm the gate-jumper,
I make the liars dance on red-hot coals.
I'm the tape-eraser, I'm the Tomfooler,
I send the rats back to their dirty holes.

chorus:

Not to worry, you're very safe -
I take only what the trashmen leave behind.
I got bags of knick-nacks and whoosy-whatsies -
come on, let's watch the world unwind.

When you go and kneel at the big computer,
I'm gonna watch you press the keys.
Too many dangerous toys, too many popguns -
I'm gonna drag 'em all in to the sea.

(chorus)

I'm the plan-stealer, I'm the gate-jumper,
I make the liars dance on red-hot coals.
I'm the tape-eraser, I'm the Tomfooler,
I send the rats back to their dirty holes.
