A fairy-tale song about naivety.

lyrics

ONCE UPON A RHYME

Once upon a time,
There was a rhyme
About a love that was a bit tragic.
Once upon a space,
There was a face
That carried a glint of magic.
(Magician: Get back before the return of the cyclops)

Once upon a smile,
As was her style,
A princess was waiting for a kiss to remember.
Once upon a love,
After a while
The prince set off from above
But it was still September.
(Magician: It was never revealed what you are about to see)

He’ll have to fly
The six valleys and on the seventh hill
He’ll have to face the wild
seven giants and them all to kill,
He’ll have to buy
some magic items in free shop sales.
God bless the child
that believes in fairy tales.
(Princess: Sinbad, Sinbad, up here…)

Once upon a wink
There was a link
Between the plusquamperfect and the present tense
Once upon a twinkle
There was a wrinkle
That to every puzzle gave a lot of sense.
(Magician: We will stop and rest here)

Once upon a rhyme
It was Summertime
In the middle of Winter, quite like magic
Once upon a season
There was a reason
to abandon everything, including logic.
