"Peppermint Stick Parade" lyrics

Oh I dreamed I saw the strangest sight
A peppermint stick parade
Around the Christmas tree on Christmas night
A peppermint stick parade

Ta da da, Ta da da
The little toy trumpet played
And that was how the toys began
The peppermint stick parade

I could hear the sound of silver ring bells
As Jack-in-the-Box popped out
And I thought I heard him laugh (Ha Ha)
As he waved his arms about

Ta da da, Ta da da
What a happy sound they made
That Christmas night, when the toys began
The peppermint stick parade

First came the roly poly, teddy bear
Riding the rocking horse, so what a jolly pair
Then came the dolly with the smiling face
She looks so pretty in her dress all trimmed with yellow lace
And up jumped the monkey and his coat of red
He jumped so high, he hit the ceiling with his head

Then everybody had some pink lemonade
At the pep-pep-peppermint stick parade

Ta da da, Ta da da
The little toy trumpet played
And that was how the toys began
The pep-pep-peppermint stick parade
