《Town Meeting Song》歌词

[00:00:00] Listen everyone there were objects so peculiar

[00:00:04] They were not to be believed

[00:00:05] All around things to tantalize my brain

[00:00:09] It's a world unlike anything I've ever seen

[00:00:12] And as hard as I try

[00:00:14] I can't seem to describe

[00:00:16] Like a most improbable dream

[00:00:19] But you must believe when I tell you this

[00:00:23] It's as real as my skull and it does exist

[00:00:28] Here let me show you

[00:00:33] This is a thing called a present

[00:00:35] The whole thing starts with a box

[00:00:37] A box

[00:00:38] Is it steel

[00:00:39] Are there locks

[00:00:39] Is it filled with a pox

[00:00:41] A pox

[00:00:41] How delightful a pox

[00:00:43] If you please

[00:00:44] Just a box with bright-colored paper

[00:00:47] And the whole thing's topped with a bow

[00:00:50] A bow

[00:00:50] But why

[00:00:51] How ugly

[00:00:52] What's in it

[00:00:53] What's in it

[00:00:53] That's the point of the thing not to know

[00:00:55] It's a bat

[00:00:56] Will it bend

[00:00:56] It's a rat

[00:00:57] Will it break

[00:00:58] Perhaps it s the head that I found in the lake

[00:01:00] Listen now you don't understand

[00:01:03] That's not the point of Christmas land

[00:01:07] Now pay attention

[00:01:08] Now we pick up an oversized sock

[00:01:11] And hang it like this on the wall

[00:01:13] Oh yes Does it still have a foot

[00:01:15] Let me see let me look

[00:01:16] Is it rotted and covered with gook

[00:01:19] Hmm let me explain

[00:01:20] There's no foot inside but there's candy

[00:01:23] Or sometimes it's filled with small toys

[00:01:25] Small toys

[00:01:26] Do they bite

[00:01:26] Do they snap

[00:01:27] Or explode in a sack

[00:01:28] Or perhaps they just spring out

[00:01:30] And scare girls and boys

[00:01:31] What a splendid idea

[00:01:32] This Christmas sounds fun

[00:01:34] Why I fully endorse it

[00:01:35] Let's try it at once

[00:01:36] Everyone please now not so fast

[00:01:38] There's something here that you don't quite grasp

[00:01:43] Well I may as well give them what they want

[00:01:47] And the best I must confess I have saved for the last

[00:01:50] For the ruler of this Christmas land

[00:01:53] Is a fearsome king with a deep mighty voice

[00:01:57] Least that's what I've come to understand

[00:02:01] And I've also heard it told

[00:02:02] That he's something to behold

[00:02:04] Like a lobster huge and red

[00:02:08] And sets out to slay with his rain gear on

[00:02:11] Carting bulging sacks with his big great arms

[00:02:15] That is so I've heard it said

[00:02:18] And on a dark cold night

[00:02:20] Under full moonlight

[00:02:22] He flies into a fog

[00:02:24] Like a vulture in the sky

[00:02:28] And they call him Sandy Claws

[00:02:40] Well at least they're excited

[00:02:42] Though they don't understand

[00:02:44] That special kind of feeling in Christmas land

[00:02:50] Oh well
