Marlo Thomas Girl Land lyrics

(Ringmaster voice)
Toyland, Toyland...
Beautiful Girl and Boy Land

(Female voice)
They're closing' down 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…

(Ringmaster voice)
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

(ooo Papa, ooo Mama, ooo Papa, ooo Ma…)

(Female voice)
They're closing' down Girl Land
Some say it's a crime
To be losin' 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 Fun House!!


(Ringmaster voice)
Wonderful Girl Land...
The island of joys!
Where good little girls
Pick up after the boys

So, come on in… and look about…
You go in a girl,
And you never GET OUT!! HaHa!

(ooo Papa, ooo Mama, ooo Papa, ooo Ma…)

(Female voice)
They're boardin' 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
Bein' 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...

(Ringmaster voice)
Girl Land, Girl Land
Beautiful Girl Land

(ooo Papa, ooo Mama, ooo Papa, ooo Ma…)
