: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
:22:02
For the ruler
of this Christmasland
:22:06
Is a fearsome king
with a deep, mighty voice
:22:09
Least, that's what
I've come to understand
:22:12
And I've also heard it told
That he's something to behold
:22:16
Like a lobster huge and red
:22:19
When he sets out to slay
with his rain gear on
:22:22
Carting bulging sacks
with his big great arms
:22:26
That is so I've heard it said
:22:29
And on a dark cold night
under full moonlight
:22:33
He flies into a fog
like a vulture in the sky
:22:38
And they call him
:22:41
Sandy Claws
:22:50
Well, at least they're excited
:22:53
But they don't understand
:22:55
That special kind of feeling
in Christmasland
