  • Toyland, toy land
    Little girl and boy land
    While you dwell within it
    You are ever happy there

    Childhood's joy land
    Mystic merry toy land
    Once you pass its borders
    You can ne'er return again

    When you've grown up my dears
    And are as old as I
    You'll laugh and ponder on the years
    That roll so swiftly by my dears
    That roll so swiftly by

    Childhood's joy land
    Mystic merry toy land
    Once you pass its borders
    You can ne'er return again Writer/s: . Traditional, David A. King

  • Daniel Morales from Lockhart, TexasWhile we sat around the fire in my backyard the other day, I sang a song for some new friends. It was a spanish song and my young friends loved it and asked me where I heard it the first time. Of course I could not remember exactly where I heard it, but it was one of those songs that my mother used to sing as she swept or moped the floor way back in the 1940s. I still don't even remember the name, but I do remember most of the words.

    At any rate, it came to me that there are many beautiful songs that many people have not ever heard and would be thrilled to learn to sing them again.

    I'm sure that there is someone somewhere that does play them on radio or something.

    Today I was looking for a song that I heard long ago called "Toyland" and another one call "Puff the magic dragon" both of them having to do with children
    and I did find both of them. But I wonder if perhaps they should be re-introduced, I feel quite out of place when I listen to most of the new songs which to me seem to have little meaning and some of them are downright ugly. Dan
