Chorus:

Hey girl

Dry your eyes

Why you look so down

Just take my hand

And come with me

We'll turn it all around

I open up this fairytale

I'll let you in tonight

Everything will be okay

With you here by my side

Once upon a time

In a distant land

There lived a mighty King

Married into money

The daughter of a banker

A queen to wear a ring

Now Ole King Cole

That boy had soul

As everyone could see

He called for a pipe

Then he smoked a bowl

With his fiddlers three

And as the King came down

He broke his crown

Throughout the land

Spread fear

And for the first time

The fiddlers chimed

"The end is surely near"

But the King stood tall

And throguh it all

To his subjects

This decree

"Today is the day

I've come to say

It's time to shed

A little light on me"

Look at this woman

Who lives in a shoe

Had 26 kids in a size 22

Ran off one day

With the Man in the Moon

And now they're living

In their rocket

On a beach in Cancun

The ants go marching

One by one

Straight down

Drury lane

They're catching odd looks

From the three blind mice

Who are singing

All the live long day

Now birds

Of a feather may

Flock together

The Queen of Hearts

Will bake

But if I lay me down

To sleep with you

I swear

My heart you'll take

(Chorus)

Little Miss Muffet

She traded

In her tuffet

For a time share

On South Beach

And despite his 8 arms

That girl remained

Just from the Spider's reach

Now the North wind blows

And the Cock will crow

As the Swan swam the 7 seas

Then Jack and Jill

Skipped up that hill

Just to X, Y tumbledown Z

Love makes a man

But a flash in the pan

It's time

Tthat makes him great

The Pigs had fun

For the Wolf had none

And so he met

His awful fate

I wonder what's my place

In this human race

I wish upon these stars

How many miles

To my Babylon

The ride

It seems too far

And now London Bridge

Is falling down

Falling down

Falling down

London Bridge

Is falling down

And I don't have

Insurance

Humpty Dumpty

Sat on a wall

To see

What he could see

Till God came down

And said

"Excuse me son

But I believe

You're in my seat"

Now all the King's horses

And all the King's men

They try as they may

But poor old Humpty

Walks with a limp

To this very day

(Chorus)

Hey my girl

Can't you see

I love you

Oh, so well

These nursery rhymes

They speak of times

Our stories

Yet to tell

I offer up

My world to you

You do

The same for me

And happily ever after

In your dreams

Is what we'll be
