"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 have journeyed through,
you'll oft recall the best of all, the land your childhood knew,
Toy land! Toyland! Little girl and boy land!
While you dwell within it, you are ever happy then.
Childhood's toyland,
mystic, merry toyland!
Once you pass its borders, you can ne'er return again.
You can ne'er return again."
~ TOYLAND, words by Glen MacDonough*. Music by Victor Herbert.
*American lyricist, writer (1870 - 1924)
