Girl Land — текст песни (Sesame Street)

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)
