Stevie Wonder - Bedtime For Toys lyrics

Close your eyes, beddy bye tin soldier
Mommy says that it's time for sleep
If my folks were wiser and older
They'd know kids and toys don't need sleep

Don't be bad little cotton dolly
See how nice Mickey Mouse sleeps now?
Even my brass drummer boy has
Stopped all his noise
Cause he knows it's past bedtime for toys

Ya know
Every Christmas Santa Claus goes all over
The world with his reindeer
Sled, and a big bag of toys and he'll
Come to your house this year too
But sometimes, just sometimes
He doesn't have enough time to
See every little boy
And girl because the world is so big
So maybe we should sing a song for
All the children that Santa didn't visit

Bless the child who has no tin soldier
No brass drummer boy to put to bed
He will still grow wiser and older
Loving one small rag doll instead

He won't have a cotton dolly
Mickey Mouse won't come to his house
Hold that rag doll to your heart
Nothing can destroy
The beauty one shall find in one small toy
