Seems fitting the last toy I ever purchased from Toys R Us was this Geoffrey figure. Now I realize he is not the original Geoffrey I grew up with but still… he was on the floor in a package as I waited in line, so why not. Just adding another store to the list of stores I most likely complained about at some point, only to be sad when it closed. The top of that list is Lechmere, man I loved to hate Lechmere, to the point when they went out of business I had been banned for life, no joke my name was on a list, damn I miss sneaking back in and buying camera equipment. As a kid I preferred Child’s World, they were cooler stores, but with my kids we would go to Toys R Us to make Christmas lists. In the end I am sorry to see anything that competes (in this case not well I understand) with Walmart. Eight years Walmart free… that time by choice I was not banned, I was more encouraged not to come back.
I don’t wanna grow up, I’m a Toys R Us kid
they got a million toys at Toys R us that I can play with
I don’t wanna grow up, I’m a Toys R Us kid
they got the best for so much less, it’ll really flip your lid
From bikes to trains to video games
it’s the biggest toy store there is (gee whiz!)
I don’t wanna grow up, cause maybe if I did
I couldn’t be a Toys R Us kid
more games, more toys, oh boy!
I wanna be a Toys R Us kid
RIP
