(Verse 1)
When you've grown up, my dears
And are as old as I
You'll often ponder on the years
That roll so swiftly by
My dears, that roll so swiftly by

And of the many lands
You will have journeyed through
You'll oft recall
The best of all
The land your childhood knew
Your childhood knew

(Chorus)
Toyland! Toyland!
Little girl and boy land
While you dwell within it, you are ever happy then
Childhood's joyland
Mystic merry Toyland
Once you pass its borders, you can ne'er return again

(Verse 2)
When you've grown up, my dears
There comes a dreary day
When 'mid the locks of black appears
The first pale gleam of gray
My dears, the first pale gleam of gray
Then of the past you'll dream
As gray-haired grown-ups do
And seek once more
Its phantom shore
The land your childhood knew
Your childhood knew

(Chorus)
Toyland! Toyland!
Little girl and boy land
While you dwell within it, you are ever happy then
Childhood's joyland
Mystic merry Toyland
Once you pass its borders, you can ne'er return again
