Where the toys were

[Guitar intro] [Verse 1] In the heart of our small town, where the lights used to shine, Hills Department Store stood, with a slogan divine. "Hills is where the toys are," echoed through the years, Now the aisles are empty, and we're shedding tears. [Pre-Chorus] The snack bar scents, popcorn and pretzels sweet, Now they're just memories, no more to greet. [Chorus] Goodbye to the toys, the joy, and the cheer, Hills is where the toys were, now they're nowhere near. The laughter and fun, replaced by silence so stark, Gone are the days of playing till dark. [Verse 2] Founded in '57, a place of delight, From Youngstown to Pittsburgh, it shone so bright. The toy section grand, a child’s paradise, Now it’s just history, no more surprise. [Pre-Chorus] Hot dogs and Icees, a childhood treat, Gone with the store, no more to meet. [Chorus] Goodbye to the toys, the joy, and the cheer, Hills is where the toys were, now they're nowhere near. The laughter and fun, replaced by silence so stark, Gone are the days of playing till dark. [Bridge] Mr. Bozic tried to save it, but the debts were too high, The stores went down, we said our goodbye. Ames took over, but couldn’t last, Now Hills is just a story of the past. [Chorus] Goodbye to the toys, the joy, and the cheer, Hills is where the toys were, now they're nowhere near. The laughter and fun, replaced by silence so stark, Gone are the days of playing till dark. [Outro] So here’s to the days, when Hills was the place, With toys and snacks, and a friendly face. Though the stores are closed, the memories stay, In our hearts, Hills lives on, every day.
