(Toys for tots)
(Toys for tots)

The joy of living (Toys for tots)
Is in the giving (Toys for tots)
So, let's give give lots of toys for tots
Toys, toys, toys for tots
You can be a Santa (Santa)
If you will lend a hand (A hand)
Yessireee, there never will be
An empty stocking in the land

Some have too many (Ding-dong-bell)
Some haven't any (Ding-dong all the way)
If those who have give those who haven't
Oh, what a Christmas Day
The Marine Reserve will help you (Help you)
Help you fill your sleigh (Your sleigh)
With lots and lots of toys for tots
So, give a little toy today

SPOKEN: Hello there. This is Peggy Lee wishing you all a 
Happy and Merry Christmas, and asking if you'll remember 
our less fortunate children by giving a toy to the 
United States Marine Corps Reserve Toys For Tots campaign. 
For your gifts of toys, you can make happier holidays for 
some deserving children in your own community. 
That's Toys For Tots and give early, please.

(Some have too many toys)
(Some haven't any toys)
If those who have give those who haven't
Oh, what a Christmas Day
The Marine Reserve will help you 
Will help you fill your sleigh
With lots and lots of toys for tots
So, give a little toy today
(Toys for tots)
(Toys for tots)
(Toys for.......FADE)
