I'm So Bored

ELLIE:
I’m so bored, nothing can help!
Movies, games and toys don’t help!
Surely there is something else to keep me satisfied, for now.
None of my friends are around.
They have all gone out of town.
I am left here by myself to try and pass the time, for now.
Give me laughter, give me tears,
I want drama, cheers and jeers!
Surely, there is something I can do to pass the time, for now.
To pass the time for now,
Anything would be just fine right now,
Would you help me pass the time right now?

Model Tugboat:
I'm the tugboat, you might remember me,
I'm the one who carried Bonnie right over the sea!
You'll come to know how important I can be,
Let me show you around and be the first to tell you -
Chorus:
Welcome to the Nursery, Welcome to our Family,
Can we get a (Tuboat) TOOT! TOOT!
Can we get a (Tuboat) TOOT! TOOT!
Can we get a (Tuboat) TOOT! TOOT!
Can we get a (Tuboat) TOOT! TOOT!
Mechanical Toys:
Oh, look. There's a rabbit, at least that's what they say.
At first, it seemed like garbage, but I guess it's here to stay.
We're so bored with everyone so behind the times,
But we try to be kind, so let us say you're -
Chorus:
Welcome to the Nursery, Welcome to our Family,
Can we get a (Tuboat) TOOT! TOOT!
Can we get a (Tuboat) TOOT! TOOT!

Timothy, the Lion:
I hope you like to dance, I hope you like to sing,
I hope you like to do-si-do around a rosie ring!
I love to smile, I love to love!
I love to laugh, ahahahahahaha!
Chorus:
Welcome to the Nursery, Welcome to our Family,
Can we get a (Tuboat) TOOT! TOOT!
Can we get a (Tuboat) TOOT! TOOT!
Can we get a (Tuboat) TOOT! TOOT!
Can we get a (Tuboat) TOOT! TOOT!

It Lasts for Always
02:06

Rabbit: (spoken) What is REAL? Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?"
Skinhorse:
It’s not how you’re made, it’s more a thing that happens to you
When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just for play but really loves you,
Then, you become real.
Rabbit: (spoken) Does it hurt?
Skinhorse: (spoken) sometimes,
(sung) but when you are real, you don’t mind
Rabbit: (spoken) Does it happen all at once, or bit by bit?
Skinhorse: It takes a long, long time. That’s why you better hope you’re sturdy
‘cause you need to last a long, long while!
and lose the sharp edges,
you have to be careful.
You’ll love your hair off, drop your eyes out, lose your joints and get shabby,
but it don’t matter, ‘cause once you’re Real,
you can’t be ugly to those who understand …
Rabbit: (spoken) I suppose you’re real?
Skinhorse: (spoken) the Boy’s Uncle made me real
(sung) a great many years ago, a long time past
but once you are real, you can’t be unreal ever again
it lasts for always …
Skinhorse & Rabbit:
it lasts for always …
it lasts for always …

Tidy Up!

Boy: (spoken) Nana, can you help me find my China Dog?
Nana: (sighs) (spoken) Yes, but we have to hurry! I have a really hot date in an hour and I have got to get out of here! Okay, listen up while we clean:
(sung)There will come a day when Nana won’t be here to help
You have got to learn to tidy up and help yourself!
When you keep it clean you’ll find that life is not so hard
You can do it on your own!
TIDY UP! TIDY UP!
If you’re anything like me, the mess can stress you out
It’s a wonder you can find your stuff when stuff is strewn about
If you clean it up yourself, you can remember where it is
Instead of asking Nana always, where it is!
TIDY UP! TIDY UP! TIDY UP! TI – DY UP, YEAH!
Wooh! Hey! Wooh! Hey!
Ok, now everybody, I’m gonna’ need your help for this next part:
When I say “TIDY” you say “UP”! READY?
TIDY! UP! TIDY! UP! TIDY! UP! TIDY! UP!
TIDY! UP! TIDY! UP! TIDY! UP! TIDY! UP!
Yeah, you got it!
And you don’t even need my help!
Yeah! Tidy Up!

Goodnight

Boy: (spoken) Oh, I’m getting sleepy. Are you sleepy too, Rabbit?
Rabbit: (spoken) Oh, yeah, I’m really tired too.
Boy: (sung) Gosh, what a day we had together
I can’t believe it’s already night
Now we must sleep and dream of the future
Just you and me for all time
Rabbit: (sung) This is all new, I can’t explain it
Feelings of love in my heart
I want to be in your warm hands forever
Please never let me go!
Boy & Rabbit:
Let’s make a pact never to leave one’s side
We will have many adventures but until then
Goodnight, my friend.

Oh, My Goodness!

Nana:
I'm not afraid of much of anything, anything that I can see is fine with me
It's in the dark that I lose control, I lose ahold of reality
Seeing things I should not see, hearing things that are strange to me,
Hearing things that are strange to me!
Oh, my goodness, my imagination's got the best of me!
I'm so silly, shaking in my boots, but it's so scary out!
My mother always told me not to be afraid of what's unknown,
But I can't help to wonder what is out there and is it safe to be alone
In the dark all by myself, looking around, I should have some help here
I don't like one bit at all, not one bit at all!
Oh, my goodness, my imagination gets the best of me!
I'm so silly, shaking in my boots, but it's so scary out here!

Rabbit: (sung) it’s not how you’re made, it’s more a thing that happens to you
When a child loves you for a long, long time – not just for play, but really loves you
Then you become real!

Remembering
02:08

|
Rabbit:
I cannot believe that this is happening to me
Thrown out to be burned!
Is this all a dream or is this really happening?
Do I really belong in a junk pile waiting to disappear?
I could just …
I remember days playing in the garden
With the boy who gave his love to me
I remember days the skin horse, rockin’ back ‘n’ forth
And my friends at the nursery
I remember days when I was happy …
I could just cry …
I could just cry …
I could just cry!
I could just cry …

Fairy:
You’ll have to leave this place sooner or later
And that’s okay; you’ve had terrific adventures
I know it’s hard not to feel sad, losing your loved ones,
but listen, it’s not all that bad … just watch me dance!
(Instrumental Dance Break)
Fairy:
Don’t question if you are real! You know the answer.
One little boy that I know will never forget you!
Simultaneously: Fairy & Rabbit
Fairy:
So let’s say goodbye and let’s do it in style
Take my hand and we’ll just fly
Right outta’ here, nothin’ to fear
Just you and me, ‘cause we are real
Right outta’ here, nothin’ to fear
Just you and me, ‘cause we are real
‘Cause we can feel.
Rabbit:
I’ll never forget you, my dear friend, the little boy!
I love you, I’ll always be in your heart!
I might feel sad, I might be scared,
but that’s ‘cause I’m real!
I think I’m ready, I think I’m ready
I know I’m ready, ‘cause we are real
‘Cause we can feel.
