Tara Beth is scared to death
to hear what the doctor will say
she hasn't been well
since the day she got wet
and the rust it just won't go away
so she sits and she waits
with her mother and dad
and laughs at the guy on tv
'cause it's the tinman from wizard of oz
and he asks "why you laughin' at me?"

Tara Beth is scared to death
'cause the tinman spoke through the tv
the doc calls her in
says she's turning to tin
maybe now you won't be rude to me (slight pause) i... i meant him!

five chances in five you'll still be alive
but to change you back i will not try
you were way too rude
to that tin dude
and i think you got what you deserve
Tara Beth closes her eyes

and she dreams she's dancing
around and around without any rust
and her very first love is laughing with her
as they both make fun of the tin man

Tara Beth is scared to death
as she sits holding a pin
'cause it would be a mistake
for someone to take a girl to the prom made of tin
for just this morning right the there on her fingers
was the weirdest of any suprise
she cries as she looks at her cold metal hands
the proof that she couldn't (pronounced cooei) deny
Tara Beth closes her eyes

and she dreams she's dancing
around and around without any rust
and her very first love is laughing with her
and they both make fun of the tinman

a quarter 'til seven
that boys at the door
and her daddy rushes him in
and when he takes of the clothes
they all start to laugh
'cause this mornin' where his skin had been
softly she touches cold tin

and they go dancing
around and around with just minor rust
and her very first true love is laughing with her
and for an hour they mock the tin

(spoken by doctor: sorry i couldn't help you but... (takes off the mask and reveals that he was the tinman all along) you made fun of me tara&... oh dang it! i wish i gave that boy a name! oh well & namless: we don't care! tinman:ahh sweet revenge! (laughing then begins to rust) um fellas i'm starting to rust again the oil can hello? (rusts) guy: haha! look at that rusted guy made of tin! (laughing) tinman: grr...
