The song, despite being sung off the cuff, causes the bar patrons to realize Wirt's true intentions and they proclaim him as well as Greg 'pilgrims'. Left with no choice, Wirt sings an adlibbed song about he and Greg's background and finishes by asking for directions. The majority of the second verse is cut off by Greg and Beatrice's dialogue.Īfter the song ends, the tavern patrons ask Wirt to sing a love song. Wirt repeatedly tries to explain the misunderstanding, but is interrupted each time. In the song, he musically informs Wirt of what he needs in order to convince Adelaide to 'marry him', and suggests the tavern's patrons for possible work.

Startled, Wirt attempts to explain the misunderstanding, but the Toymaker bursts into song before he can do so. Wirt asks the Toymaker for directions to where Adelaide lives, but the Toymaker unwittingly mistakes Wirt for a 'young lover' and Adelaide as his love interest. The song is sung while Wirt, Greg, and Beatrice are sheltering from rain in the Dark Lantern. It is sung by the Toymaker, who is voiced by Frank Fairfield, who composed and wrote the song.
