There's a thorn on the sidewalk,
selling blankets and magazines.
looking for something to do
and people making scenes.
There's an ice cream truck
and a police car making a stand.
Tried to apprehend the fool
that tried to send a love letter
And a funny thing happened
on the way to the toy store today
And I'll never ever, ever, ever, ever
take the sidewalk to Granite again
And a funny thing happened
on the way to the toy store today
And I'll never ever, ever, ever,
stay inside on a rainy day
The saints are out in force
An d the clock strikes four
of whatever happened to you
The places are just opening up,
some aren't even open yet
you wonder what you're gonna get
And a funny thing happened
on the way to the toy store today
And I'll never ever, ever, ever, ever
take the sidewalk for granted again
And a funny thing happened
on the way to the toy store today
And I'll never ever, ever, ever,
stay inside on a rainy day
just to take a look around
even though she'd been warned
about the hazards of downtown
Round the square it gets pretty quiet
like someone's gone off to sleep
And as she walked away on
What's a smile but a frown
on the way to the toy store
Never ever, ever, ever, ever
Take a sidewalk and run it again
And a funny thing happened
on the way to the toy store
Never, ever, ever, ever, ever
stay inside on a rainy day.
