The Man With All The Toys
Elton John (Holiday) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He's the man with all the toys
Someone found a lighted house late one night
And he saw through the window a sight
A big man in a chair
And little tiny men everywhere
He's the man with all the toys

Well how thrilled that someone must have been
And he must have been tempted to go in
He stayed out in the cold
And when he left them he told
About the man with all the toys

He's the man with all the toys




The man with all the toys
He's the man with all the toys

My mom gave me a toy stethoscope when I was 7 years old and today I am a doctor. This is the most heart touching comercial I've ever seen because this happened to me too but in a different way. Thank you mom for that gift that changed my life and gave to me a passion to live for. ♥♥
