I’m all made of hinges class="diff_next">t1I’m all made of hinges, ’cause ev’rything bends 2’Cause ev’rything bends2From the top of my neck way down to my ends. 3From the top of my neck3I’m hinges in front, and I’m hinges in back; 4way down to my ends;4But I have to be hinges, or else I would crack! 5I’m hinges in front 6And I’m hinges in back. 7But I have to be hinges 8or else I would crack! 95
