March of the Toys

(Intro)
Right! Left! Right! Left! Right! Left! Right!

(Verse 1)
See them! two and two they go
Marching in a row, the tiny toys
Right! Left! Right!
Bringing memories of days of yore
Days that are no more
When you and I, when you and I were girls and boys!
The Harlequin and the dainty Columbine
Run along with the brave little leaden soldiers who march in a perfect line
The teddy bear
And the dolly with the flaxen hair
And the animals rare from the Ark, every one that you knew is there
Every animal rare is there!

(Chorus)
Come back to the toys your childhood knew
For we are true, whatever you do
We're waiting to play the same old way
Through night and day, though you are gray, we'll wait for aye!
Come join us as we march along
A hundred strong, And sing our song!
Forget life's cares, life's snares
And be a child, and be a child once more

(Verse 2)
Could we heed their friendly call
Could we one and all
Go back once more, could we go back once more!
Could we only be young again
And forget life's pain in days gone by
When you and I were girls and boys
Those childhood days and the wonderful childhood ways
Oh to go back again to the joys of toys and to be like a child again!
Now comes the call
That is meant for us, one and all
Let us heed it and listen to hear what they say
As they pass this way
Catch a glance as the lines advance

(Chorus)
Come back to the toys your childhood knew
For we are true, whatever you do
We're waiting to play the same old way
Through night and day, though you are gray, we'll wait for aye!
Come join us as we march along
A hundred strong, And sing our song!
Forget life's cares, life's snares
And be a child, and be a child once more
