There was another version of this where they go to Boston and throw a box of tea into the harbor. I believe the lyric was "When you think of Boston/you think of history."
This commercial says it all. When you think of toys you do think of Toys R Us. It wasn’t just a store, it was an institution. YOU WILL BE MISSED TOYS R US!!
I remember this Commercial as a Child:). It is so profoundly sad that Toys R Us was the last large Toy Store in the U.S. As a Child of the 70s into the 80s, I took for granted Kiddie City, Kay Bee Toy and Hobby Shop as much as Toys R Us. I pray someone will step up to the plate and create a new large Toy Store for Children of Today. America just can not be "great again" without a large Toy Outlet for Children Today. This is not the America I remember from the 70s and 80s.
I am on the verge of crying. I know they reopened, but the new store just isn't the same. It's so small and lacks a certain charm of the old one to me.
When you think of New York City, you think of Liberty! When you think of San Francisco, cable cars you see! From New Orleans, Mississippi to the New England shores... When you think of toys for the family, think of our stores! When you think of toys think of... Toys “R” Us! The lyrics.
I actually think it’s “from Hawaii’s blue Pacific”, as the beach that Geoffrey and his family are running on looks a lot more like the Pacific than the Gulf Coast. Also, New Orleans is in Louisiana rather than Mississippi. It would also tie into the whole “from New York to San Francisco” theme they already touched on.
Just bought a batchload of all three of these mascots (and geoffreys son Junior along with an assortment of other characters) in a job lot on ebay. Honestly didn't even know he had a family till i bought it. 0_0
I think it is this: When you think of New York City, You think of Liberty. When you think of San Francisco, Cable car to Sea... From New Orleans, Mississippi, To New England Shores... When you think of toys for the family, Think of our stores. When you think of toys, think of - TOYS R US!!!
