| [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... |
