Am I Ken?
When I was growing up
Ken wasn't made for me
I had my GIJoes
Ken was just a Barbie accessory
Joe had as much as Barbie
Maybe a little more
Ken had almost nothing
Except the girl and that's a score
Debbie had her Barbies
I had my GIJoes
Joe had his camo
Barbie had her designer clothes
We played together
They had a torrid love affair
Then one day we grew up
And she vanished in thin air
Debbie was my Barbie
But someone else was her GIJoe
I wanted my Barbie back
But that's the way it goes
The years go by
Debbie and Joe had a happy life
I found another Barbie
And made her my wife
I wouldn't trade today
For nothing in the world
But my mind often travels back
To where Joe got my girl
Ken wasn't made for me
I had my GIJoes
Ken was just a Barbie accessory
Joe had as much as Barbie
Maybe a little more
Ken had almost nothing
Except the girl and that's a score
Debbie had her Barbies
I had my GIJoes
Joe had his camo
Barbie had her designer clothes
We played together
They had a torrid love affair
Then one day we grew up
And she vanished in thin air
Debbie was my Barbie
But someone else was her GIJoe
I wanted my Barbie back
But that's the way it goes
The years go by
Debbie and Joe had a happy life
I found another Barbie
And made her my wife
I wouldn't trade today
For nothing in the world
But my mind often travels back
To where Joe got my girl
