It's a difficult responsibility
That you accept from the number-one 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-one 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 extracts from the number-one 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!
