Book 3. Toys Toys Toys, And Island IN The Rainbows
Book 3. “Toys Toys Toys”, And “Island IN The Rainbows”
Here are two more from “A Christmas Present for Santa, The Story Of Sandy The Bluenosed Reindeer” The first one is “Toys Toys Toys” great fun for us to record (we did it in a wonderful little studio up in Topanga Canyon, belonging to John Cornett, who produced the recordings for lilfish records, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands.) The setting is Santa’s workshop, and the Elves are singing as they work.
The second song “Island In The Rainbows” is a duet between Sandy and Santa, she is homesick and longing for her “Island In The Rainbows”, A situation that every one of us might easily recognize. Santa tries to comfort her. The little girl playing Sandy is Tasha McCauley a truly great natural talent. Tasha was ten years old at the time. “Island In The Rainbows” is one of my very favorite of my songs. I hope that you will enjoy it and the entire Operetta. www.sandythebluenosedreindeer.com Here we go!
TOYS TOYS TOYS
Toys toys toys toys – toys toys toys toys
Every one loves toys toys toys
Way up here in Santa’s shop, when we start we never stop
Cause every toy’s a thing of joy and every body wants a toy
Arche wants an aeroplane, Billy wants a ‘lectric train
Carrie wants more Star Wars stuff,
Children just can’t get enough
Toys toys toys toys, Every one loves toys toys toys
Drucie wants a doll that walks, Ellie wants a doll that talks
Frankie wants a baseball bat, Sister Gale a football hat
Holly wants a new doll house, Izzy wants a rubber mouse
Jamesy wants a teddy bear, Katie wants a game that’s fair!
Imagine a world without toys,
An awf’ly boring place, not much fun for girls and boys
But don’t be sad cause it’s ok
There’s something we could do about it
Everybody sing and shout it! Toys..
Hey! Shouting’s not polite, dont’cha know that?
Ok then every body sing!
Toys toys toys toys, all we want is toys toys toys.
Way up here in Santa’s shop, when we start we never stop
Cause every toy’s a thing of joy and every body wants a toy
Lele wants a two wheel trike, Maggie wants a three wheel bike
Nattie wants and ice cream truck, Orvil wants an Easter duck
Poonah wants a boxing glove Queenie wants a fish to love
Roscoe wants a jumping rope, Sarah wants a microscope
Tito wants a frog that sings, Uta wants a magic ring
Virgil wants an oogie board, Wanda wants a pirate sword

A cash machine? A racehorse? A Limousine?

ISLAND IN THE RAINBOWS
There’s a place that I know,
where I sure wish I could go
Far away, it’s an Island in a Rainbow
Somewhere far across the sea,
I can hear it calling me
But I can”t go
it’s an Island in the Rainbows
Rainbow days… far away,
Green and Gold, Purple too,
Rosy Red, Yellow and Blue
I wish I could show it to you
Somewhere far across the sea
Is it dream or memory?
I don’t know,
it’s an Island in the rainbows
Rainbow days… far away,
Green and Gold and Purple too,
Rosy Red, Yellow and Blue,
How I wish that I knew it were true
Maybe someday you and me,
We could fly across the sea
See, if there could be,
An Island in the Rainbows…
Book 3. “Sandy The Bluenosed Reindeer”
Book 3. “Sandy The Bluenosed Reindeer”
Dear Friends,
Many of you may not be familiar with “Sandy The Bluenosed Reindeer” the song, or the Operetta. Here is the song, and, over the next few weeks I will post the complete Operetta.
How well I remember being a little fellow “doun Nisky School” doing the annual Christmas Quadrille with the beautiful little Maeling Joseph. We were surrounded by, or rather, wrapped in the love and care of the rough-hewn but sainted Nisky community, and the larger less rough-hewn but no less sainted..(at least at Christmas time)..St. Thomas community. I loved our Christmas customs, cakes, tarts, people gathering, the singing, the foreday morning Fungi Bands, our local hand-made Angels, ornaments and paper chains and not least (especially when fully decked out) our beautiful local Christmas Trees that (yes, like people all over the world)…we had to go “tru de bush” to find, cut down and carry home.
However, I felt that the warm weather world and little girls were under represented in the larger picture, and I set out to change that as best I could (as you’ll see). I hope that you will enjoy “Sandy The Bluenosed Reindeer” and perhaps share her with your family and friends.

Sandy The Bluenosed Reindeer
We’ve all heard of Rudolph, whose nose was shiny bright
And how he guided Santa’s sleigh through the foggy night
But there’s a little Reindeer whose nose is icy blue
And now they’ve made a place for her in Reindeer history too.
Sandy is the Reindeer whose story’s never told
Cause who’d believe a Reindeer didn’t like the cold
Who believes in Reindeer whose little noses freeze
Shivering and shaking and knocking at the knees.
Then one night it happened down in Port of Spain
The other Reindeer got so hot they started to complain
“Let me help you Santa” her voice was sure and strong
And that’s how Sandy found her way into a Christmas song
Sandy is the Reindeer who’s story’s never told
Cause who’d believe a Reindeer didn’t like the cold
Who believes in Reindeer who’s little noses freeze
Shivering and shaking and knocking at the knees.
Now Sandy leads for Santa, when it’s time to go
Any where around the world that it doesn’t snow
The Boys and Girls all love her y’know. there’s an awful lot
Of places in the world where all the Christmas’s are hot
Sandy is the Reindeer whose story’s never told
Cause who’d believe a Reindeer didn’t like the cold
Who’d believe a Reindeer whose nose was icy blue
But now they’ve made a place for her
In Reindeer history too…
