Come And Buy My Toys Lyrics

[00:09.46] Smiling girls and rosy boys
[00:11.57] Come and buy my little toys
[00:13.45] Monkeys made of gingerbread
[00:16.06] And sugar horses painted red
[00:20.50] Rich men's children running fast
[00:22.47] Their fathers dressed in hose
[00:24.83] Golden hair and mud of many acres on their shoes
[00:29.30] Gazing eyes and running wild
[00:31.47] Past the stocks and over stiles
[00:33.65] Kiss the window merry child
[00:35.72] But come and buy my toys
[00:41.60] You've watched your father plough the fields with a ram's horn
[00:45.95] Sowed it wide with peppercorn and furrowed with a bramble thorn
[00:52.81] Reaped it with a sharpened scythe, threshed it with a quill
[00:57.07] The miller told your father that he'd work it with the greatest will
[01:01.81] Now your watching's over, you must play with girls and boys
[01:06.36] Leave the parsley on the stalls
[01:08.48] Come and buy my toys
[01:14.69] You shall own a cambric shirt
[01:18.67] You shall work your father's land
[01:23.10] But now you shall play in the market square
[01:27.63] Till you'll be a man
[01:34.91] Smiling girls and rosy boys
[01:37.01] Come and buy my little toys
[01:39.38] Monkeys made of gingerbread
[01:41.70] And sugar horses painted red
[01:49.45]
