The Lyrics
One of my all-time favorite toys! Next up may be G.I. Joe Modular Android Space Soldiers (MASS)!
G.I. Joe,
From the '60s,
12" action figures fought Japs and Nazis*
Life- like hair switch,
Had a new grip- Kung Fu!
Even some with eyes that moved!!!
Camouflage new & improved!
G.I. Joe,
Then the '80s,
3.75" were Cobra fighting
Anniversary touch,
Back to 12" a good move,
Comic strip Private Breger led to you**!
First "action figure", so cool, so cool!
