Toys, Toys, Toys

Toys, toys, toys.
Big toys,
Little toys.
Toys about films,
Films about toys.
Toys, toys, toys.

Toys for girls,
Toys for boys.
Oh toys of my toy kingdom,
Take me away from this place of darkness,
This joyless town,
From this frowning clown,
From this eiderdown,
That I use to make a fort.
So I can sit there deep in thought,
Surrounded by you all.

Toys, toys, toys.
Red toys,
Blue Toys,
Toys with pictures,
Pictures of toys,
Toys, toys, toys.

Toys for me,
Toys for you.
Oh Toys of my toy kingdom,
Take me to this place of light,
This Joyful Place,
In this moment of pure laughter,
In this brief happy ever after,
That takes place in my den,
So I come back again,
Surrounded by you all.

Toys, toys, toys.
Toys, toys, toys.

Toys, toys, toys.

Love the repetition in this one. You can feel the rhythm as you read it.
