If you go down in the woods today 
You'd better not go alone 
It's lovely down in the woods today 
But safer to stay at home 
For ev'ry Bear that ever was 
Will gather there for certain because 
Today's the day the Teddy Bears 
have their Picnic

Excerpt from The Velveteen Rabbit

"What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day, when the were lying side by side near the nursery fender, 
before Nana came to tidy the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?"
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. 
When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful.
"When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked "or bit by bit?"
"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't often happen to people who break easily,or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."

Excerpt from "Love you Forever"

A mother held her new baby and
very slowly rocked him back and forth,
back and forth, back and forth.
And while she held him, she sang:
I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
my baby you'll be.

"Bless the seven little men who have been so kind to me, 
and...and may my dreams come true. 
Oh yes, and please make Grumpy like me."

Part of Your World, Reprise (final)
~Ariel~

What would I give to live where you are?
What would I pay to stay here beside you?
What would I do to see you smiling at me?
Where would we walk? Where would we run?
If we could stay all day in the sun?
Just you and me, and I could be part of your world
I don't know when, I don't know how
But I know something's starting right now
Watch and you'll see, someday
I'll be part of your world

True, he was shorter than some and greener than most,
but this, she knew, was the man of her dreams,
her prince, her destiny.
