about

Your Toys Could Be Better is a letter to a big multinational entertainment corporation, letting them know that they should re-think the toys they make based on their princess movie heroes. The writer has a lot of great ideas of what they could do instead and plans to be in charge of all that when she grows up....sung by 9-year-old Violet Duguay!

lyrics

YOUR TOYS COULD BE BETTER



I love all your movies

The princess girls are smart

They do all kinds of real cool stuff

And they have the biggest hearts



I don’t want to complain now

But I guess I kind of am

The toys you make just don’t make sense

For me and my sister Sam



Cuz they do a lot of things in the movies you see

But I get to the store and there’s nothing for me

Because my play time’s bigger than clothes and tea

And dishes and dolls and baby makes three



Because your toys could be better

I’m writing you a letter!



Take that Cinderella

She’s such a pretty sight

But there’s more to her than dresses

She has adventures in the night



How bout a road trip with the horses and coach

Could she hitch up a trailer with some glittery rope

I’d love to find the step mom and haunt her house

And have something fun to do with that that cute little mouse



Because your toys could be better

I’m writing you a letter!



Take that gal Rapunzel

She’s more than just her hair

She busts out of that tower

Then she’s running through the air



What about a go-cart or a flying trapeze

A magic golden ladder for my arms & knees

And later when you make a toy version of me

I don’t want make up or to be skinny



Because your toys could be better

I’m writing you a letter!



My name is Aurora

You probably know that name

She’s pretty famous for being great

& actually I’m the same



When I grow up I’m a-going to be

Making toys for kids at your company

That have nothing to do with how you look you see

I’ll send you a bill for my thinking fee



Because your toys could be better

I’m writing you a letter!



Because your toys could be better

I’m writing you a letter!
