Lyrics: [There's nothing the matter with me. I'm not the problem, I'm never the problem. It's everyone else.] I live in land of nincompoops I curse them everyone So feverishly devoted to their laughter and their fun I never had fun or laughter, and, you see, I turned out fine That's why my little scheme is so divine Ooh, what a crooked man is Barnaby [Ah, yes.] There's nobody more unscrupulous than he [Oh, thank you so much.] We agree that he's a miserable gent They say his very soul is bent. Each winter I'm filled with nausea Imagining (ugh) the toys Constructed in threatening quantities For screeching girls and boys This holiday, they'll discover Only the rug beneath the tree Because I'll destroy that blasted factory! HA! Ooh, what a crooked man is Barnaby It's kind of as if he's morally askew True affection tends to make him very ill For hatred is his greatest thrill Oh, yes, I'll crush the toys to rubble Burst their silly bubble Make this jolly land a place they long to leave I'll fill the streets with quicksand Santa's sleigh with bricks, and I'll have myself a merry Christmas Eve [The clock is ticking my little factory. Your days are numbered!] I'll rid them of every play things Oh, it thrills me to my bones No Red Rubber Balls, No Dainty Dolls, No Tiny Telephones If I did without such rubbish, then why shouldn't everyone? We'll live in a toyless world at last. Hurrah! [Hit it, boys.] Ooh, what a crooked man is Barnaby [Indescribably.] There's no point of view more venomous than he [You're so quick to notice.] 'Tis no lie that he's a truly nasty guy He never had a toy, that's why Ooh, what a crooked man is Barnaby [Undeniably!] There's nothing more warped than his philosophy [Not even remotely close!] We can plainly see why he's his only fan [What a slimeball!] That Barnaby is a crooked man...!
Barnaby was voiced by none other than Christopher Plummer, I think I can see why he voiced him after all he hated his own Sound of Music for it being too senitmental seemed like he was perfect for this character
+PyroGothNerd because as a child barnaby didn't have fun and look how he turned out, so he's planning on destroying toyland so no child will have fun either that's why he's staying so he can ruin everyone's happiness and that's why the song is called "a crooked man"
This was and will always be one of my favourite movies of all time
Lyrics:
[There's nothing the matter with me. I'm not the problem, I'm never the problem. It's everyone else.]
I live in land of nincompoops
I curse them everyone
So feverishly devoted to their laughter and their fun
I never had fun or laughter, and, you see, I turned out fine
That's why my little scheme is so divine
Ooh, what a crooked man is Barnaby
[Ah, yes.]
There's nobody more unscrupulous than he
[Oh, thank you so much.]
We agree that he's a miserable gent
They say his very soul is bent.
Each winter I'm filled with nausea
Imagining (ugh) the toys
Constructed in threatening quantities
For screeching girls and boys
This holiday, they'll discover
Only the rug beneath the tree
Because I'll destroy that blasted factory!
HA!
Ooh, what a crooked man is Barnaby
It's kind of as if he's morally askew
True affection tends to make him very ill
For hatred is his greatest thrill
Oh, yes, I'll crush the toys to rubble
Burst their silly bubble
Make this jolly land a place they long to leave
I'll fill the streets with quicksand
Santa's sleigh with bricks, and
I'll have myself a merry Christmas Eve
[The clock is ticking my little factory. Your days are numbered!]
I'll rid them of every play things
Oh, it thrills me to my bones
No Red Rubber Balls, No Dainty Dolls, No Tiny Telephones
If I did without such rubbish, then why shouldn't everyone?
We'll live in a toyless world at last. Hurrah!
[Hit it, boys.]
Ooh, what a crooked man is Barnaby
[Indescribably.]
There's no point of view more venomous than he
[You're so quick to notice.]
'Tis no lie that he's a truly nasty guy
He never had a toy, that's why
Ooh, what a crooked man is Barnaby
[Undeniably!]
There's nothing more warped than his philosophy
[Not even remotely close!]
We can plainly see why he's his only fan
[What a slimeball!]
That Barnaby is a crooked man...!
There hasn’t been a Babes in Toyland movie this one
And that was back in 1997
Since this one
It’s due
4:08
Uncle Barnaby always scared the fuck out of me when I was little.
1. 0:00: A Crooked Man
2. 3:21: The Worst is Yet to Come
3. 7:00: It's You
4. 9:57: Mr. Dumpty's Toyland Reprise
\m/ rock n roll yeah
Barnaby was voiced by none other than Christopher Plummer, I think I can see why he voiced him after all he hated his own Sound of Music for it being too senitmental seemed like he was perfect for this character
thanks for details. plummer is a great actor and he did do great in Up, Rock A Doodle, An American Tail, this film, and some other things.
Agreed!
A Crooked Man? I don't see David, Sissi, D, or Fluffy anywhere.
yeah but he has the best mgm villain song
Barnaby trapped a poor person in an Iron Maiden, or container. :( Darn! This movie is dark and Don Bluth's brother helped with this.
2:25 :O
😈
That Barnaby is worse than Scrooge!
yep
You’re a mean one Barnaby
When the movie was aired on TV, did they cut any parts out?
Why didn't Barnaby just move if he didn't like the place?
+PyroGothNerd because as a child barnaby didn't have fun and look how he turned out, so he's planning on destroying toyland so no child will have fun either that's why he's staying so he can ruin everyone's happiness and that's why the song is called "a crooked man"
yeah and making deals with goblins made him as bad as Azog from the hobbit, defiling lives he cares little for.
Because he's not crooked but twisted.
Goblin King and Great Goblin should be buddies, in Hell.
omg😇😎😍💂

evil😈
