"Workshop Song" is a song from Babes in Toyland.
Lyrics[]
The Children:
Painting eyes on funny faces,
Putting on a smile or a frown
Mr. Toymaker:
Come now, there’s lots of orders coming in
The Children:
Bolting wheels on axel braces
So they never will break down
Mr. Toymaker:
Children, we need 600 more of these you know
The Children:
Cutting, sewing, pressing dresses,
Every little doll gets one
Putting curls in all their tresses,
Isn’t it a lot of fun?
Mr. Toymaker:
Christmas coming
The Children:
Things are humming
Mr. Toymaker:
Busy, busy
The Children:
In a tizzy
Tom and Mary:
Hurry, hurry, hurry, till we’re done.
All:
Hurry, hurry, hurry, till we’re done.
The Children:
Gluing legs on chairs and tables,
Never any less than four.
Mr. Toymaker:
Say, you!
Please pay attention to your job!
The Children:
Cows and goats for tiny stables,
Put a dozen in or more
Mr. Toymaker:
Willie!
This is no time for foolishness!
The Children:
Tacking, pounding, fitting, nailing
Every little thing must run
Some for flying, some for sailing
Isn't it a lot of fun?
Mr. Toymaker:
Christmas coming
The Children:
Things are humming
Mr. Toymaker:
Busy, busy
The Children:
In a tizzy
Tom and Mary:
Hurry, hurry, hurry, till we’re done
Mr. Toymaker:
We must not waste an instant
All:
Hurry, hurry, hurry, till we’re done
The Children:
Quack, quack, quack, quack,
Chick, chick, chick, chick,
Teedle-iddle lum tum tum
Mr. Toymaker:
Oh, that’s good, we should be happy when we work
The Children:
Boom, boom, boom, boom,
Tick, tick, tick, tick,
Teedle-iddle lum tum tum
Mr. Toymaker:
Careful!
You're gonna shoot him in the head!
The Children:
Oink, oink, oink, oink,
Ding, ding, ding, ding,
Teedle-iddle lum tum tum
Bang, bang, bang, bang,
Bing, bing, bing, bing,
Teedle-iddle lum tum tum.
Quack, quack, chick, chick,
Boom, boom, tick, tick,
Oink, oink, ding, ding,
Bang, bang, bing, bing
Mr. Toymaker:
Tum-tum-tum-tum-tum,
Teedle lum tum
La la la la la la
Tum tum tum tum tum
teedle lum tum
La la la la la la la la
Tum tum tum tum tum
Teedle lum tum
La la la la la la la la
Tum-tum-tum-tum-tum
