Revisionist lyrics

Listening to Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child, we heard a version of "Toyland" by Dan Wilson. Liza misheard the lyrics, and she was convinced they were singing about "toilet." Once she'd said that, I was unable to hear anything else, and frankly, it improves the lyrics. Tell me you don't agree:

Toyland, toyland
little girl and boy land
when you dwell within it
you are ever happy there!

Childhood toyland
mystical merry toyland
once you pass it's borders
you can never return again! ( not again! )

<>

Childhood toyland ( Toyland! )
mystical merry toyland
once you pass it's borders
you can never return again!

( Toyland! ) Toyland ( Toyland! ) toyland
( Toyland! ) Toyland!
