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.
