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 
If that will not say, it doesn't matter anyway 
Jenny won't you please take me home
