He was a young boy
As gentle as a lamb
But he grew up mean
And from his house he was banned

(cardboard man...)

He lived on the streets
And ate some cardboard
When he collected cans
He... He never felt bored!

Oh, he was a cardboard man
Doin the best he can
Oh yeah, a cardboard man
Couldn't afford no ham!

He held his head high
And he never looked back
Every day eating cardboard
Oh, it was his only snack now!

A cardboard man
Didn't have no electrics fans
He was a cardboard man
And name was Dan.....

Well Dan came back
After ten years had gone
He was getting tired of his dirty life
He was tired of being... so alone

(cardboard man...)

He walked up the driveway
Thought he might be harmed
But when he rang at the door
He cried into his mother's arms!

Oh, a cardboard man!
A cardboard man
yeah, a cardboard man.
A cardboard man
A cardboard man
A cardboard man
Doing the best he can...
