Both: Toyland, Toyland, beautiful girl and boy land …
(a few bars of carnival music)
Shirley Jones: They’re closing up Girl Land. Some say it’s a shame.
It used to be busy, then nobody came.
And other folks tell you they’re glad that it’s done,
‘Cause Girl Land was never much fun …
(more carnival music playing through next verse)
Jack Cassidy: Welcome to Girl Land, my good little girls!
Admission’s a wink and a toss of your curls.
There’s fun for all, from eight to eighty.
You go in a girl, and you come out a lady!
Shirley Jones: They’re closing down Girl Land. Some say it’s a crime
To be losing the trees you’re forbidden to climb.
And other folks say it was always a bore
To wait for a boy who would open the door
To the funhouse …
(still more carnival music playing through next verse)
Jack Cassidy: Wonderful Girl Land, the island of joys,
Where good little girls pick up after the boys!
So come on in. Look about.
You go in a girl … and you never get out! (wicked laugh)
Shirley Jones: They’re boarding up Girl Land. Some say it’s too bad.
They try to remember some fun that they had.
And other folks say it was no fun at all,
Being a girl in Girl Land.
And soon, in a park that was Girl Land before,
You’ll do what you like and you’ll be who you are,
As you wander in and wander out
And pretty soon forget all about …
Jack Cassidy: Girl Land, Girl Land, beautiful Girl Land …
(carnival music plays slower, sounding run-down, and finally stops)
