This is another song from Sergio Wals' 2008 CD "Michael Closed the Bathroom Door," recorded at Alex Stangl's studio. Tracks from the CD can be downloaded by clicking here.

And you can purchase the whole CD here.

It's been almost four years since George Hanlon put together the very cool original version of this one. Sergio and I were thrilled to be able to include it on the CD. And, to top things off, we learned that the song was played in August on the Dr. Demento show! Here it is on the Dr. Demento play list, a few songs after Randy Newman and Elvis!

Music by George Hanlon
Words by Jeff Mondak
Arranged and performed by Sergio Wals and Alex Stangl

The race was on to get a toy
And Thomas was the winner
He beat me to the toy box
But he ended up as dinner

The toy box ate my brother
'cause he made a tragic blunder
He entered with a head-first dive
And quickly got pulled under

The toy box ate my brother
And now he wants another
The toy ate my brother
And now he's after you

He kicked his feet and called my name
While our toy box drooled and slurped
I knew dear Thomas was no more
When that toy box loudly burped

The toy box ate my brother
And now he wants another
The toy ate my brother
And now he's after you

No toy box can be trusted
So I make this solemn promise
I'll rid the world of all of them
In memory of poor Thomas

I know you must be frightened
So I will help you, girls and boys
Just ship your toy box off to me
Along with all of your new toys

The toy box ate my brother
And now he wants another
The toy ate my brother
And now he's after you

just gotta dig the inflection in Sergio's voc. Alex's arrangement is as expected nothing less that all 'meat and tatr'. melody is infectious. love the spoken part. sentiment is intelligent and at the same time playful. ain't it the truth on the toy scene. all garage sale inventory. huge song guys. thanks.
