"Yes, Gentle sweet Toby..."

"It's a cruel world out there..."

"So just lay your skull down on your pillow, and close your eyes..."

"If you had 'em..."

[CHORUS 1]
Ohhhhh Toby Bones, now rest your head, and dream of skies she roams,
Your Scuzzy walks where few dare tread, then always finds her way home.
If someone’s rude or breaks a rule or topples peaceful thrones—
She only tries to teach them love, dear Toby… Toby Bones.

[VERSE 1]
She met some folks of bony build, who’d lost their skin one day,
They’d gotten quite confused about which games were nice to play.
With just a tap of her screamy stick ('cause that’s what swords are for!)
She helped them all remember how to rest and dream once more.

[CHORUS 2]
Ohhhhh Toby Bones, you clever sprout, your smile could mend a scar—
Just like how Scuzzy fixes things with kindness from afar!
Sometimes that kindness makes a BOOM, and topples ancient stones—
But only when it has to, kid. You know that, Toby Bones.

[VERSE 2]
Some nights she’d go a-wandering where music filled the streets,
She’d share her juice with travelers and hide beneath soft sheets.
She’d hum a tune with tousled hair and kiss the world goodnight—
Then curl up in a stranger’s coat, beneath the candlelight.

[CHORUS 3]
So Toby Bones, our brave bright lad, remember what she knows—
That sharing juice and stories helps the garden where love grows.
And if she kissed one pirate… or twelve… we cast no stones—
Because she always says goodnight. And that’s enough, Toby Bones.

[BRIDGE]
Now maybe not all details need be sung when night is deep…
Some parts of Scuzzy’s travels might not help a child sleep.
An owl might gum up the jukebox... a bar might be wrecked—
But Scuzzy surely paid that tab. Eventually. There’s context.

Sooooooo...

[VERSE 3]
One time she saved a zebra bard from bees that stole his strings,
She used a magic red hat and she never even blinked!
The zebra said “Thank you, Scuzzy!” She showed him how to dance—
A lesson he still likes to see, sometimes without his pants!

[CHORUS 4]
So Toby Bones, close up your eyes, and drift through candlelight—
For Scuzzy guards the dreamland gate, and hugs you through the night.
She’s out there with a starlit grin, in far-off moonlit zones…
Still watching over all good hearts… like yours, dear Toby Bones.

"Thank you!"

"I guess it's bedtime, Toby..."
