I Want the Model Train That Blows Real Smoke!

Ensemble Song Lyrics

Dante: I want the model train that blows real smoke! Agata: I want the rocking horse with big brown eyes! Fiorello: You know Geppetto’s latest are sure to be the greatest! Francesca: Like that flying fish that really flies! Children: There’s toys of ev’ry shape and size! I don’t know how I’ll ever make my choice from all your new creations, dear Geppetto. All spring I kept an eye out, now I can’t wait to try out each new top and boat and block and marionette, oh… Toys! I’m in a room that is full of toys! I’m in a shop that is bursting with toys things you can pummel and pull. I see toys you jiggle, toys you juggle toys you hold at night and snuggle. Boys: Boys Girls: or girls, Children: which ever the case, need toys to put a smile on our face. Before they lose their pieces or their wheels or their shine, give me toys. I love toys, especially when they’re mine! Geppetto (speaking): Welcome, everyone! Everything you see is satisfaction guaranteed! Adriana: I want that castle with a working moat! Luigi: I want those marching soldiers, and to haul them, this little wooden wagon! Gina: Buy me that scary dragon! Lia: Climbing monkeys! Rico: Dancing donkeys! Children: Look at all them toys! I’m in a room that is full of toys! I’m in a shop that is bursting with toys with things you pummel and pull. I see toys you wiggle, toys you wind up How’ll I ever make my mind up!? Signora Lisi: No dear, that’s much too fragile! Signor Fucito: No, dear, that’s too expensive! Signora Mancini: No, dear, that makes too much noise remember Mommy’s headaches! Signor Alcamo: No, dear, you’ll only break that! Signora Sommella: No, dear, your Dad could make that! Parents: You already have so many toys don’t be greedy! Signor Mancini: Please, dear, don’t start that sniv’ling! Signor Fucito: Please, dear, don’t throw a tantrum! Signora Contrastana: You know mommy hates it when you whine, it’s so ugly! Parents: Just say “goodbye” and “thank you” Don’t make me have to spank you! Don’t make me sorry that you’re mine! Geppetto: Why is it the people who shouldn’t have children who have children? Why is it the people who don’t know how lucky they are who are blessed? Why is it the ones who see children as bothers are the ones who get to be fathers, when someone like me clearly would the best? There must be a slipup in heaven’s workshop or a wrinkle in nature’s design that I spend my days with the children of the people who shouldn’t have children, and none of them are mine. None of them will ever be mine. Boys: Look! Girls: Look!

Children: That whirligig with the thingamajig is a toy I never had! Parents: What is it? Children: I don’t know, but I want it really bad! Please? Pleeeeze!

Since I Gave My Heart Away (Part 2)

Blue Fairy: There’s a lesson learned. Geppetto: I learned it late, but no regrets. Geppetto and Blue Fairy: The more of your heart you give to someone else Blue Fairy and Geppetto (Same lyrics different octaves): The fuller that it gets. All: So take my home look, here’s the key. And all of value you might see. Geppetto: But never take my son from me, All: That’s a price I cannot pay Geppetto: Since I gave my heart away… All: When you wish upon a star, makes no diff’rence who you are. When you wish upon a star, your dreams come true.
