Lyrics
It's a difficult responsibility That you accept from the Number 1 lawmaker, me Have it known throughout the land from sea to sea There'll be no more toymakers to the King!

All the tin soldiers -- melt them down Wash the face of every clown Each bouncing ball -- deflate it No, I don't want to debate it! The ballerinas who pirouette Arrest their musical toes Outlaw the dolls and sink the boats They bring me only woes!

It's a difficult responsibility That you accept from the Number 1 lawmaker, me Have it known throughout the land from sea to sea There'll be no more toymakers to the King!

Every jack-in-the-box be sealed Till my wounded pride be healed Stuffed animals -- unstuff them! When a child objects -- rebuff 'em! No more drummers who rat-a-tat-tat No buglers who root-a-toot-toot Don't let me see another toy Or you will feel my boot!

It's a difficult responsibility That he extract from the Number 1 law keeper, me Be it known throughout the land from sea to sea Toys are hereby declared Illegal, immoral, unlawful AND Anyone found with a toy in his possession Will be placed under arrest and thrown in the dungeon! There'll be no more toymakers to the King!
