:20:04
Listen, everyone!
:20:07
I want to tell you
about Christmas Town.
:20:14
There were objects so peculiar
they were not to be believed
:20:17
All around things
to tantalize my brain
:20:20
It's a world unlike anything
I've ever seen
:20:24
And as hard as I tried
I can't seem to describe
:20:27
Like a most improbable dream
:20:31
But you must believe
when I tell you this
:20:34
It's as real as my skull
and it does exist
:20:39
Here, let me show you.
:20:45
Ooh!
:20:46
This is a thing
called a present
:20:49
The whole thing
starts with a box
:20:51
- A box
- Is it steel
- Are there locks
:20:53
- Is it filled with a pox
- A pox, how delightful, a pox
:20:56
If you please.
:20:58
Just a box with
bright colored paper
:21:00
And the whole thing's
topped with a bow
:21:03
- A bow
- But why
- How ugly
- What's in it, what's in it
:21:06
That's the point of the thing
Not to know
:21:08
- It's a bat
- Will it bend
- It's a rat
- Will it break
:21:10
Perhaps it's the head
that I found in the lake
:21:13
Listen now
You don't understand
:21:16
That's not the point
of Christmasland
:21:19
Now pay attention
We pick up an oversized sock
:21:23
And hang it like this
on the wall
:21:26
Oh, yes, does it still
have a foot
:21:27
- Let me see, let me look
- Is it rotted and covered with gook
:21:31
Um, let me explain.
:21:32
There's no foot inside
but there's candy
:21:35
- Or sometimes it's filled
with small toys
- Small toys
:21:37
- Do they bite
- Do they snap
- Or explode in the sack
:21:40
Well, perhaps they just spring
out and scare girls and boys
:21:42
What a splendid idea
This Christmas sounds fun
:21:45
I fully endorse it
Let's try it at once
:21:48
Everyone, please
Now not so fast
:21:50
There's something here
that you don't quite grasp
:21:53
I don't know.
Do you get it?
:21:55
Well, I may as well
give them what they want.
:21:59
And the best I must confess
I have saved for the last
