Lyrics of 'Mother Goose' by Jimmy Mancus

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
