Workshop Song

The Workshop Song is a song in Babes in Toyland

The Children: Painting eyes on funny faces, putting on a smile or a frown.



Mr. Toymaker: Come on, there’s lots of orders coming in.



The Children: Putting wheels on axel braces so they never will break down.



Mr. Toymaker: Children, we need 600 more of these you know.



The Children: Sewing, pressing dresses, every little doll gets one. Putting curls on their tresses isn’t a lot of fun.



Mr. Toymaker: Christmas coming.



The Children: Things are humming.



Mr. Toymaker: Busy, busy.
