WHEN YOU'RE THE FIRST TOYMAKER TO THE KING
Tanta and the Kringles
|
It's a difficult responsiblity
When you an accept an appointment from His Majesty
You must strive for just the perfect quality
When you're the first toymaker to the king!
All the soldiers must stand erect
Or the king don't they protect
The balls must bounce much higher
If they're to please his royal sire
The ballerinas must pirouette
Upon their musical toes
And the clowns must make a king forget
All his kingly woes!
It's a difficult responsiblity
When you an accept an appointment from his majesty
You must strive for just the perfect quality
When you're the first toymaker to the king!
All the sailboats must never sink
And the dollies always wink
The teddybears be furry
If they're to gay his royal curry
The jack-in-boxes must always pop
At every regal command
And the kangaroos must learn to hop
Into the prince's hand!
It's a difficult responsiblity
When you an accept an appointment from his majesty
You must strive for just the perfect quality
When you're the first toymaker to the king!

THERE'LL BE NO MORE TOYMAKERS TO THE KING
Burgermeister and Grimsley
|
It's a difficult responsiblity
That you accept from the Number 1 lawmaker, me
Have it known throughout the land from sea to sea
There'll be no more toymakers to the King!
All the tin soldiers -- melt them down
Wash the face of every clown
Each bouncing ball -- deflate it
No, I don't want to debate it!
The ballerinas who pirourette
Arrest their musical toes
Outlaw the dolls and sink the boats
They bring me only woes!
It's a difficult responsiblity
That you accept from the Number 1 lawmaker, me
Have it known throughout the land from sea to sea
There'll be no more toymakers to the King!
Every jack-in-the-box be sealed
Till my wounded pride be healed
Stuffed animals -- unstuff them!
When a child objects -- rebuff 'em!
No more drummers who rat-a-tat-tat
No buglers who root-a-toot-toot
Don't let me see another toy
Or you will feel my boot!
It's a difficult responsiblity
That he extract from the Number 1 lawkeeper, me
Be it known throughout the land from sea to sea
Toys are hereby declared Illegal, immoral, unlawful
AND
Anyone found with a toy in his possession
Will be placed under arrest and thrown in the dungeon!
There'll be no more toymakers to the King!

A KISS A TOY
Kris and the Children
|
Oh, what a good girl
Oh, what a good boy
Oh what a big smile
All because of a toy!
If you sit on my lap today
A kiss a toy is the price you'll pay
When you tell what you wish for --
In a whisper
Be prepared to pay.
If you sit on my lap today
A kiss a toy is the price you'll pay
When you sit on my left knee
Don't be stingy
Be prepared to pay.
If whenever you take
You give a little back
Then whoever you love
Will give a little love back
So give a little love
Get a little love back
Don't you have a little love
That you want to get back
If you sit on his lap today
A kiss a toy is the price you'll pay
When you sit on his left knee
Don't be stingy
Be prepared to pay.
Now if you sit on my lap today
A kiss a toy is the price you'll pay!

PUT ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER
Kris and Winter
|
Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you'll be walkin' 'cross the flo-o-or
Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you'll be walkin' out the door.
You never will get where you're goin'
If you never get up on your feet
Come on! There's a good tail wind blowin'
A fast walkin' man is hard to beat!
Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you'll be walkin 'cross the flo-o-or
Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you'll be walkin' out the door.
If you want to change your direction
If you're time of life is at hand
Well don't be the rule -- be the exception
A good way to start is to stand.
Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you'll be walkin 'cross the flo-o-or
Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you'll be walkin' out the door.
If I want to change the reflection
I see in the mirror each morn
Oh, you do?!
You mean that it's just my election
Just that!
To vote for a chance to be reborn.
You put one foot in front of the other
And soon you are walkin' 'cross the flo-o-or
You put one foot in front of the other
And soon you are walkin' out the door.
Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you are walkin 'cross the flo-o-or
Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you'll be walkin' out the door!

MY WORLD IS BEGINNING TODAY
Jessica
|
All the little cares picked along the way
Suddenly have disappeared with yesterday
Tossed about the fields and lost among the winds
My world is beginning today.
Oh, so many times have I walked this way
And never seen the little things I see today
Never had my head so high above the clouds
My world is begning today.
I know something's gonna happen
But it's out of my hands
Things are gonna start snappin'
Without any plan.
All the little cares picked along the way
Suddenly have disappared with yesterday
Tossed about the fields and lost among the winds
My world is beginning today
My world is beginning today!

WEDDING SONG
S.D. Kluger
|
What better way to tell you
How much you mean to me
Than a token of affection
Placed beneath a Christmas tree.
The custom started long, long ago
When first the Wise Men three
Gave gifts of love, of lo-o-ove
To a newborn ba-a-by.

SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN' TO TOWN
|
Santa Claus is comin' to town!
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town!
He's making a list and checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town!
He sees you when you're sleepin'
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
Oh, you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town!
With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty-too-toot and rummy-tum-tum
Santa Claus comin' to town
And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
Elephants, boats and kiddie cars, too
Santa Claus is comin' to town!
The kids in girl and boy land
Will have jubilee
They're gonna build a toyland town
All around the Christmas tree
So you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin'
Santa Claus is comin'
Santa Claus is comin' to town!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
