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
