Jimmy:
I'm a piece of work I'm iron and lace
I'm shy right up there in your face
I'm all dumbfounded, stubborn as an ass
Sharp as an arrow in a pile of glass
I'm a sweetheart, genius, restless jerk
Lord have mercy, I'm a piece of work
Jimmy:
Well the Lord made me on a long thin limb
Made sure I'd remember Him
Or her in the middle of a long dark night
Creation crazy, death sheet white
Made in the image of a lion shocked lamb
I am who the hell I am
Never better, bad or worse
Down to the letter I'm a piece of work
Toby:
I'm a piece of work I'm an angel's fiend
Bathed in lavender and gasoline
Scared brave shallow in an ink black well
Lightly browned in the fires of hell
Wicked, holy, full on fake
Best known for my big mistake
I'm zen wise, peaceful, gone berserk
Good God almighty I'm a piece of work
Toby:
I'm a dreadful sight and I just don't care
Spent all morning pulling out my hair
Woke at dawn with a crazy spin
Half the day trying to glue back in
Mother, Bloody
Jimmy:
Mary please, wipe that smile right off of your knees
Toby:
I'm a CEO of the mailroom clerks
Jimmy:
Lord have mercy, what a piece of work
Jimmy:
I'm a piece of work, I'm a lovesick boy
Cloth cap, caviar and corderoy
All over the map, just lost in space
With a filthy mind and a choir boy's face
Toby:
Heels up, head down
Straight on through
Watch out woman, I'ma get to you
I'm a gladiator with a mind to irk
Good God almighty I'm a piece of work
Toby: I'm a piece of work
Jimmy: I'm a piece of work
Toby: I'm a piece of work
