Jimmy Mancus - Mother Goose lyrics
rate me(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 that 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
