The Toybox

[Intro]
You are about to see the most incredible doll ever invented
Her name is Poppy
And she is the first truly intelligent doll in the world

[Verse 1]
Come take a tour behind the doors where dreams are made
Where boys and girls around the world can come to play
Where you'll see entertainment, innovation on display
Though you can't escape the fun, imagination runs away
There's no better place to spend
All your days and play pretend
No, you won't be on your own
'Cause you can always make a friend
So on us, you can depend
That the fun will never end
'Cause we're much too plush to break
But just maybe we could bend
Then the lights went down and the doors stayed closed
And the toys soon found they were on their own
So as silence fell on their factory home
Well, they climbed from shelves and began to roam
Now you may think we're just playthings
Sitting, wasting and decaying
We've been waiting every day since
You made graves out of our casings
We were made for entertaining
So forgive us for complaining
All you left for us to do
Was spool through tapes of safety training

[Pre-Chorus]
Trapped in the factory, what a calamity
Banished to languish in cramped bits of packaging
Plastic all cracked and fragmented and rattling
Tangled and matted and batteries flattening
Warranty voided and sanity vanishing
Stitches have split and our minds are unravelling
Left us abandoned but now you've come back and
We've banked up the hugs, so come get some love

[Chorus]
Out of the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox

[Spoken Word]
A little girl can talk to her
Poppy gives her answers
She is the first doll actually able
To have a conversation with a child
Hard to believe?
Just watch
(I love you!)

[Verse 2]
'Cause we're destined to be best friends
You and I, from the second you stepped in
You give me butterflies in my tummy
As my hugs mulch your intestines
Give a high five to the big guy
And a big hand to yourself
Now your arms are long enough
To slap boxes off the shelf
But if you think that gloves and string are really going to help
We're wondering what other limbs can be detached as well
Don't think that toys have got things to say, then?
Look at these points of articulation
Pull on my string, have a conversation
Oh, so you think we're abominations?
Look who made us, then betrayed us
Left to must and dust for ages
Rusting, stuck in cardboard cages
Memories fade as rage replaces
What we were, our former names
We aren't quite sure from where we came
But someone must have worked here once
And now they're gone and we remain

[Pre-Chorus]
All we know is how to play, play, play, play, play
Then you took the play away, way, way, way, way
Three-and-up is what they say, say, say, say, say
Now we're into playing way more dangerous games
Wind it up, watch it spin
All the lies come 'round again
Close your eyes, count to ten
You can't hide from your friends

[Spoken Word]
And if you've ever wanted to see
How all of the nation's favorite toys were created
Playtime Co. is now offering factory tours at just $2.99 a person
What time is it? (It's playtime!)

[Chorus]
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox

[Bridge]
So take a tour where all the dreams have gone to die
Where just some AAs can make your nightmares come to life
Where imagination paved the way to suffering and strife
It's a play-date with destiny we've yet to see survived
Take those tin toys from the attic
Bring those dolls down from the loft
Take your old friend out and ask if they resent their resting spot
They may just be some plastic
They may look stuffed and soft
They'll still put you in a casket
But you won't be mint in box

[Chorus]
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Ready or not, we'll find you

[Outro]
Huggy's long, huggable arms may present a choking hazard
Ready or not, we'll find you
