Lyrics

When I was a young child, younger than you or me.
I went into the toy store, sat on Santa's knee.
He asked me what toys I want - Dinky toys or teds?
I gazed into his big brown eyes and this is what I said…

I want Christmas - playing with plastic tauntauns,
Christmas in my Millennium Falcon.
Watching the repeats of Star Wars,
Playing with my plastic figures -
Christmas! A long time ago in a galaxy far away…

Later on its Christmas Eve, I went up to my bed,
No matter so how hard I tried I couldn't rest my head.
Thinking of the toys I'd waited for so long to get…
A Princess Leia, a Chewbacca and a Boba Fett.

It was Christmas - playing with plastic tauntauns,
Christmas in my Millennium Falcon.
Watching the repeats of Star Wars,
Playing with my plastic figures -
Christmas! A long time ago in a galaxy far away…

The very next morning, underneath the tree,
A great big shining parcel waiting there for me.
I opened it and there there was, to my delight,
My own Millennium Falcon ready for her maiden flight!

I spent Christmas - playing with plastic tauntauns,
Christmas in my Millennium Falcon.
Watching the repeats of Star Wars,
Playing with my plastic figures -
Christmas! A long time ago in a galaxy far away…
