Toyland! Toyland!
Little girl and boy land,
While you dwell within it,
You are ever happy then.
Childhood’s joyland,
Mystic merry Toyland!
Once you pass its borders
You can ne’er return again!
-excerpt from “Toyland” from the 1903 musical Babes in Toyland. Book and lyrics by Glen MacDonough, music by Victor Herbert
