This is my cover of the iconic "Magical Place" Toys 'R' Us advert, made as a tribute to my favourite toy shop which closed its final UK branches yesterday.
RIP Toys 'R' Us, you have been a massive part of my life for over 25 years. I can't believe I will never walk around your aisles and see your millions of toys again, but rest assured, you will never be forgotten.
"There was a magical place,
Where fun filled the air.
With toys in their millions all under one roof.
It was Toys 'R' Us!
Our hearts are breaking this sad April day,
The shelves are all empty and Geoffrey can't stay.
Books, board games, bikes for sale no more.
No space ships and trikes, they've closed all the stores!
There's millions of memories all under one roof.
We'll never forget Toys 'R' Us! Toys 'R' Us!"
This goes without saying, but the music, animation and Toys 'R' Us and Geoffrey names obviously belong to their respective owners. I only own my voice and photos of Brent Cross Toys 'R' Us.
