Burl Ives - The Most Wonderful Day Of The Year Lyrics






We're on the island of misfit toys
Here we don't want to stay
We want to travel with Santa Claus
In his magic sleigh

A pack full of toys means a sack full of joys
For millions of girls and for millions of boys
When Christmas Day is here
The most wonderful day of the year!

A jack in the box waits for children to shout
"Wake up, don't you know that it's time to come out!"
When Christmas Day is here
The most wonderful day of the year!

Toys galore
Scattered on the floor
There's no room for more
And it's all because of Santa Claus!

A scooter for Jimmy, a dolly for Sue
The kind that will even say "How do you do"
When Christmas Day is here
The most wonderful day of the year

If we're on the island of unwanted toys
We'll miss all the fun with the girls and the boys
When Christmas day is here
The most wonderful, wonderful
Wonderful, wonderful
Wonderful day of the year!

  7. M.... n....

    This song was actually NOT performed by the “Videocraft Chorus”.... as some can very clearly hear... this song was performed by The Johnny Mann Singers, a popular vocal group signed to Liberty Records, who had a couple of hits around this time, you can hear ole Johnny’s voice at 0:14, and two female singers from the group, at 0:47, 1:18, and 1:15, respectively (and the one at 1:15 sorta sound like Lynne Weintraub from the Serendipity Singers, Another extremely popular group at this time, that had a very sizable hit, “Don’t Let the Rain Come Down (Crooked Little Man)” on their debut LP on Philips Records.)

  8. L.... ....

    Wonderful.

  9. P.... C....

    E.... B....

    Has done it again

  12. N.... M....

    How would you like to be a spotted elephant?
    Or a choo-choo with square wheels on your caboose?
    Or a water pistol that shoots,
    jelly?
    WE'RE ALL MISFITS!
    How would you like to be a bird that doesn't fly?
    I swim!
    Or a cowboy who rides,
    an ostrich?
    Or a boat that can't stay afloat?
    WE'RE ALL MISFITS!

  13. H.... S....

    I will never forget this movie as long as I'm alive. My absolute favorite Christmas program every year to watch!

  14. R.... S....

    I love Christmas

  15. T.... D....

    Those of us who have been treated as misfits in their lives such as myself can definitely relate to this song very strongly.

  16. T.... S....

    Let's be honest here, There was nothing wrong with the doll! |:)

    T.... S....

    @Isabel Beckerman she has a low self-esteem so she counts herself as a misfit

    T.... S....

    @Olivia Cefaratti But in the end and thanks to Santa she was happily adopted to a loving home and with that she was no longer a misfit ;-)

    T.... S....

    @Humo Smokehouse he's spotted

    T.... S....

    @Isabel Beckerman And pretty! I am sure there's a girl out there who would love to have her!

    T.... S....

    @Roberto De Leon-Gonzalez As we speak, happily she already has a home and someone to cuddle to enhance her low self esteem 🥰

  17. N.... H....

    Okay, sure it's sad that all these toys are stuck on this island, but can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that King Moon Racer has like, the coolest name ever? I mean for real, who wouldn't want that name?
    ~:~

    N.... H....

    and in 1964 they saved the misfit toys but weren't shown doing it

    N.... H....

    ArchiveofAwesomeness 1886 Yes the ending was altered for the following broadcast the next year (1965), due to complaints that Santa didn't fulfill his part of the deal that he make a stop to pick up the toys residing in the Island of Misfit Toys - in-story, the special in its current form (the "new" revised ending) actually implies that Santa has forgotten about the Island plenty of times before.

    N.... H....

    Speaking of names, how did Charlie-in-the-box get his name? Regardless, he still does the same thing as all the Jack's out there.

    N.... H....

    @karen hall He's that dude from the end of The Twilight Zone Episode "It's a Good LIfe" LOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sxx75qFy41g

    N.... H....

    Maybe so, but Moonracer was a dick for not allowing Rudoph and Hermie to stay.

  18. S.... ....

    best song in the movie

  19. B.... ....
