Lyrics for Babes in Toyland


Welcome to Mother Goose Village

Oh, Ev'ryone in town,
Has come and gathered round,
To celebrate this special day.
Two orphan twins are on the way
let's hope they're safe and sound.

As soon as they appear,
let's give a rousing cheer,
To let them know they're not alone,
to make them feel like they're at home,
And there's no need to fear.

Click clack, stand back
let's make way for the train.
(Mother) do you see them?
(Mary) There they are!
It's Alan and it's Jane!

(all cheer)
Welcome to Mother Goose Village
We're glad you've come to stay.
You've traveled a long way,
and now we'd like to say.

We're glad you've come to our village,
As happy as can be.
Now you're no longer orphans,
But a part of our family. 



In the Workshop
Everyone
In the workshop, Toymakers workshop,
We make Christmas gifts for all the little girls and boys.
We paint trollies, decorate the dollies,
And bring joy to everybody with our lovely toys.
There are wagons, even painted dragons,
Christmas toys that make lots of noise.
We've got high chairs, cuddly cute stuffed bears,
So that children everywhere can share our joys.
Toymaker
Girls and boys will get toys on that joyous Christmas day.
Old Kris Kringle soon will come to mingle,
And select the toys he likes the best to take away.
He'll pick a few, only the best will do.
Then he'll pack them in his bag and on his magic sleigh.
Everyone
Then at daybreak all the toys he will take,
To the children everywhere and say.
Merry, Merry Christmas, Jolly, Holly Christmas!
Here's to love and joy to you this Christmas day!

Bye-Bye, Tom Tom
Gonzorgo and Rodrigo:
We used to be hungry and destitute.
We needed employment to earn some loot.
You gave us the bed we could not afford,
When we swore to push Tom Tom overboard!
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Our laughter seems rash.
You should have been there when he went splash!
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Our joy may seem rank.
Poor little Tom walked off the plank.
Gonzorgo!
Rodrigo!
We've done our best,
To drown Mary's boy-friend at your request.
We gave you our word that we'd do the deed.
Now your underhanded plan will succeed.
Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! Mary's fiance'.
He really had a rotten day.
Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! Tom is no more.
He's sitting on the ocean floor!

We kidnapped the lad!
We kicked the young cad!
We dragged him away!
To our boat in the bay!
We sailed out to sea!
Just you, him and me!

Together: We drowned the young Tom Tom just as we were told.

Barnaby(spoken): Just what are you trying to tell me?

Together: WE WANT OUR GOLD!

Toyland
Mother Goose:
When you've grown up my dears,
And are as old as I.
You'll often ponder on the years
That roll so swiftly by, my dears,
That roll so swiftly by.
And of the many lands,
you will have journeyed through,
You'll oft recall the best of all
the land your childhood knew.
Your childhood knew.

Toyland, Toyland, dear little girl and boy-land,
While you dwell within it, you are ever happy then.
Childhood's joy-land, mystical, merry Toyland.
Once you pass it's boarders, you can ever return again.

Go to Sleep
Curly Locks: See that shadow sway?
Mary: That is nothing, dear.
Curly Locks: Please don't go away.
Mary: I am staying here.
Curly Locks: See the creepies crawl.
Mary: No that cannot be.
Curly Locks: See the ogre tall,
Mary: It's a cypress tree.

Mary and Tom:
Go to sleep, slumber deep.
Little ones we'll watch you while you sleep.
Dream and rest, that is best.
'Till you hear the morning song from bough and nest.

Mary: Tom Tom dear, I adore,
Dearest one I could not love you more.
Hold me tight, through the night.
In your arms I'm safe until the morning light.


BoPeep's Solo

BoPeep:
My lambs are lost for good.
There goes our livelihood.
I'm sure those dear sweet fleecy things
Would come home if they could.

But they are gone you see,
Gone far away from me.
Now I must weep because my sheep,
I'll never get to see.

Dear friends and family and my neighbors too,
Have my lost lambs been seen by you?
I'd hoped to sell them here in the square.
If you should see them, please tell me where.

Mother Goose and Girls:
Never mind BoPeep, we will find your sheep,
We will help you wait and see.
Please don't cry BoPeep, for your wandering sheep,
Though far from home they may be.
Try to smile BoPeep, for a while BoPeep
And try not to be blue.
Never mind BoPeep we will find your sheep.
And bring them home to you.



He Won't Be Happy Till He Gets It
Barnaby:
Oh, Jane and Alan's father left them riches by the ton.
And I am sure I need that money more than either one.
Yes, I will do whatever I must do to make it mine.
Because the thought of me as wealthy is a thought divine.

(Chorus)
And I won't be happy till I get it.
Just think of all the things that I could buy.
A house up on a hill, it gives me such a thrill,
And I'm going to get it by and by.
Villains:
And he won't be happy till he gets it.
Just think of all the things that he could buy.
A house up on a hill, it gives him such a thrill,
And he's going to get it by and by.
Barnaby:
Oh, I want Mistress Mary to consent to be my wife.
For then that beauty will be forced to serve me all my life.
Yes, I will do whatever I must do to make her mine,
Because the thought of me as married is a thought divine.
(Chorus)
And I won't be happy till I get it.
Just think of all the things that I could buy.
A house up on a hill, it gives me such a thrill,
And I'm going to get it by and by.
Villains:
And he won't be happy till he gets it.
Just think of all the things that he could buy.
A house up on a hill, it gives him such a thrill,
And he's going to get it by and by.

Barnaby:
Oh, that ingenious toymaker invented this machine,
And with it I could mastermind a money making scheme.
Yes, I will do whatever I must do to make it mine,
Because the thought of me as wealthy is a thought divine.


(Chorus)
And I won't be happy till I get it.
Just think of all the things that I could buy.
A house up on a hill, it gives me such a thrill,
And I'm going to get it by and by.
Villains:
And he won't be happy till he gets it.
Just think of all the things that he could buy.
A house up on a hill, it gives him such a thrill,
And he's going to get it by and by.
