We're on the island of misfit toys
Here we don't want to stay.
We want to travel with Santa Claus
In his magic sleigh.
A packful of toys means a sackful of joys,
For millions of girls and for millions of boys,
When Christmas Day is here.
The most wonderful day of the year!
A jack in the box waits for children to shout,
"Wake up, don't you know that it's time to come out,"
When Christmas Day is here.
The most wonderful day of the year!
Toys galore scattered on the floor.
There’s no room for more;
And it’s all because of Santa Claus!
A scooter for Jimmy, a dolly for Sue,
The kind that will even say "How do you do,"
When Christmas Day is here
The most wonderful day of the year.
