Et Cetera
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Once upon a time there lived a
King and Queen oh yeah
Happy ever after in a castle in the air
Then one day a dragon came and everyone turned pale
But God was on their side and so they
lived to tell the tale
That life goes on as once upon a time
Et Cetera, Et Cetera, Et Cetera, Et Cetera
Et Ceterahhhh...
Talk about religion, talk about philosophy
Talk about between the devil and the deep blue sea
But life goes on as once upon a time
Et Cetera, Et Cetera, Et Cetera, Et Cetera
Et Ceterahhhh...
Sing a song of happiness and
sing a song of love
Sing about the evil things that we must rise above
Sing about injustice, sing of misery and pain
Sing about the universe and sing it all again
For life goes on as once upon a time
Et Cetera, Et Cetera, Et Cetera, Et Cetera
Et Ceterahhhh...
And we shall live forever
Or at least until as once upon a time
time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time...
