Most of the better bred woollen toys have gone to bed    And the teddy bear is a-sleeping in the cupboard    And the wooden soldiers all and the rubber bouncing ball    Are list'ning to the tales of mother Hubbard    But the fairy lights are dark on the Christmas tree as restlessly    I stand here forgotten and alone    I've been too long on the floor, I can't stay here any more    So Jenny won't you please take me home.       Oh the statues that I see are made out of blackest ivory    But I pass them by never guessing of their meaning    And a million voices cry as I walk across the sky    Though it's restless here why it's only in-betweening    For the journey that I'm on is incomplete so to my feet    I must rise now and travel on alone    Ah, but if you've got some time to spend in between now and the end    Oh Jenny won't you please take me home.       Now almost every word that I've said that you have heard    Hides another thought left unspoken    And if I may not reach it through the gutter of my speech    Then it best be left unsaid than lie unbroken    And if you wish to see then from time to time look in my eyes    Oh the gold is not far beneath the stone    Mmm if that will not say it doesn't matter anyway    Jenny won't you please take me home.
