[00:00.43] |
Listen, everyone |
[00:02.42] |
There were objects so peculiar |
[00:04.44] |
They were not to be believed |
[00:05.87] |
All around, things to tantalize my brain |
[00:09.43] |
It's a world unlike anything I've ever seen |
[00:12.98] |
And as hard as I tried .I can't seem to describe |
[00:16.21] |
Like a most improbable dream |
[00:19.71] |
But you must believe when I tell you this |
[00:23.01] |
It's as real as my skull and it does exist |
[00:28.85] |
Here, let me show you |
[00:32.81] |
This is a thing called a present |
[00:35.25] |
The whole thing starts with a box |
[00:37.23] |
A box? |
[00:38.20] |
Is it steel? |
[00:39.00] |
Are there locks? |
[00:39.96] |
Is it filled with a pox? |
[00:40.62] |
A pox? |
[00:41.33] |
How delightful, a pox |
[00:43.20] |
If you please |
[00:44.10] |
Just a box with bright-colored paper |
[00:47.57] |
And the whole thing's topped with a bow |
[00:49.84] |
A bow? |
[00:50.50] |
But why? |
[00:51.20] |
How ugly! |
[00:52.15] |
What's in it? |
[00:52.81] |
What's in it? |
[00:53.46] |
That's the point of the thing.Not to know. |
[00:55.32] |
It's a bat |
[00:56.00] |
Will it bend? |
[00:56.66] |
It's a rat! |
[00:57.42] |
Will it break? |
[00:58.14] |
Perhaps it’s the head that I found in the lake? |
[01:00.62] |
Listen now, you don't understand |
[01:03.25] |
That's not the point of Christmas land |
[01:07.16] |
Now, pay attention |
[01:08.68] |
We pick up an oversized sock |
[01:11.11] |
And hang it like this on the wall |
[01:13.65] |
Oh, yes! Does it still have a foot? |
[01:15.62] |
Let me see, let me look |
[01:16.86] |
Is it rotted and covered with gook? |
[01:18.98] |
Hmm, let me explain |
[01:20.41] |
There's no foot inside, but there's candy |
[01:23.35] |
Or sometimes it's filled with small toys |
[01:25.27] |
Small toys? |
[01:25.88] |
Do they bite? |
[01:26.54] |
Do they snap? |
[01:27.25] |
Or explode in a sack? |
[01:28.48] |
Or perhaps they just spring out and scare girls and boys |
[01:31.11] |
What a splendid idea |
[01:32.49] |
This Christmas sounds fun |
[01:33.70] |
I fully endorse it |
[01:35.00] |
Let's try it at once |
[01:36.29] |
Everyone, please .Now, not so fast |
[01:38.87] |
There's something here that you don't quite grasp |
[01:43.74] |
Well, I may as well give them what they want |
[01:47.03] |
And the best I must confess, I have saved for the last |
[01:50.26] |
For the ruler of this Christmas land |
[01:53.87] |
Is a fearsome king with a deep mighty voice |
[01:57.31] |
Least that's what I've come to understand |
[02:00.76] |
And I've also heard it told that he's something to behold |
[02:04.16] |
Like a lobster, huge and red |
[02:07.85] |
When he sets out to slay with his rain gear on |
[02:11.10] |
Carting bulging sacks with his big great arms |
[02:14.40] |
That is, so I've heard it said |
[02:18.30] |
And on a dark, cold night |
[02:20.07] |
Under full moonlight |
[02:21.80] |
He flies into a fog |
[02:23.76] |
Like a vulture in the sky |
[02:27.82] |
And they call him Sandy Claws |
[02:39.67] |
Well, at least they're excited |
[02:41.65] |
But they don't understand |
[02:44.10] |
That special kind of feeling in Christmas land |
[02:50.02] |
Oh, well... |
