Close your eyes, beddy bye tin soldier,
|
Mommy says that it's time for sleep,
|
If my folks were wiser and older,
|
They'd know kids and toys don't need sleep.
|
|
Don't be bad little cotton dolly,
|
See how nice Mickey Mouse sleeps now?
|
Even my brass drummer boy has stopped all his noise,
|
Cause he knows it's past bedtime for toys.
|
|
[Speaking]
|
Ya know, every Christmas Santa Claus goes all over the world with his reindeer,
|
sled, and a big bag of toys and he'll come to your house this year too.
|
But sometimes, just sometimes, he doesn't have enough time to see every little boy and girl because the world is so big.
|
So maybe we should sing a song for all the children that Santa didn't visit.
|
|
Bless the child who has no tin soldier,
|
No brass drummer boy to put to bed.
|
He will still grow wiser and older,
|
Loving one small rag doll instead.
|
|
He won't have a cotton dolly,
|
Mickey Mouse won't come to his house.
|
Hold that rag doll to your heart, nothing can destroy
|
The beauty one shall find in one small toy.
