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
