Sesame Street - Girl Land lyrics

Both: Toyland, Toyland, beautiful girl and boy land ... (a few bars of carnival music) Shirley Jones: They're closing up Girl Land. Some say it's a shame. It used to be busy, then nobody came. And other folks tell you they're glad that it's done, 'Cause Girl Land was never much fun ... (more carnival music playing through next verse) Jack Ca**idy: Welcome to Girl Land, my good little girls! Admission's a wink and a toss of your curls. There's fun for all, from eight to eighty. You go in a girl, and you come out a lady! Shirley Jones: They're closing down Girl Land. Some say it's a crime To be losing the trees you're forbidden to climb. And other folks say it was always a bore To wait for a boy who would open the door To the funhouse ... (still more carnival music playing through next verse) Jack Ca**idy: Wonderful Girl Land, the island of joys, Where good little girls pick up after the boys! So come on in. Look about. You go in a girl ... and you never get out! (wicked laugh) Shirley Jones: They're boarding up Girl Land. Some say it's too bad. They try to remember some fun that they had. And other folks say it was no fun at all, Being a girl in Girl Land. And soon, in a park that was Girl Land before, You'll do what you like and you'll be who you are, As you wander in and wander out And pretty soon forget all about ... Jack Ca**idy: Girl Land, Girl Land, beautiful Girl Land ... (carnival music plays slower, sounding run-down, and finally stops)
