Oh, I’m the Baby Teddy-bear,

Oh, I’m the Baby Teddy-bear,

Oh, I’m the Baby Teddy-bear,

The littlest Bear in the Family!

[All the Toys gather about as he sings. The little Maiden takes him on her lap and begins to croon in a motherly fashion. Suddenly a noise comes from the direction of the red box. Maiden, rising and taking Teddy-bear by the hand, begins to look excitedly about.]

Maiden.

But aren’t there any other toys?

I thought I heard a funny noise!

[Again the noise is heard. Maiden runs over and touches lid of box. It pops open, showing a funny Jack-in-the-box holding a bag of candy under his arm.]

[Jack-in-the-box sings.]

Oh, my name is Jack of the Candy-box.

In a Candy-box I live.

Just touch the cover and up it pops

And a kiss to you I’ll give!

To each little boy and each little girl,

Each child who passes by,

A candy kiss or a candy curl—

Candy-box Jack am I.

[As he sings, all the toys form in a line behind the little Maiden, and as they pass Candy-box Jack, he gives them each some candy from his bag. Toys return to places and little Maiden stands at center.]
