Jimmy Mancus - Mother Goose lyrics

Your rating:


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
