歌词
作曲 : Cosmo Sheldrake
Legend has it that the moss grows
on the north side of the trees
Legend has it when the rains come down,
all the worms come up to breathe
Legend has it when the sunbeams come,
All the plants, they eat them with their leaves
Legend has it that the world spins
round on an axis of 23 degrees
But have you heard the story of
the rabbit in the moon
Or the cow that hopped the planets
while straddling a spoon
Or she, who leapt up mountains,
while whistling up a tune
And swapped her songs with swallows
while riding on a broom
Well, we can all learn things both many and a-few
From that old hunched woman
who lived inside a shoe
Or the girl that sang by day
and by night she ate tear soup
Or the man who drank too much
and he got the brewers' droop
Come listen up all ye fair maids to
how the moral goes
Nobody knew and nobody knows
How the pobble was robbed
of his twice five toes
Or how the dong came to own a luminous nose
Or how the jumblies
went to sea in a sieve that they rowed
And came to shore by the chankly bore
where the bong trees grow
Where the jabberwocky's
small green tentacles do flow
And the quanglewangle plays in the rain
and the snow
But have you heard the story
of the rabbit in the moon
Or the cow that hopped the planets
while straddling a spoon
Or she, who leapt up mountains,
while whistling up a tune
And swapped her songs with swallows
while riding on a broom
Well, we can all learn things
both many and a-few
From that old hunched woman
who lived inside a shoe
Or the girl that sang by day
and by night she ate tear soup
Or the man who drank too much
and he got the brewers' droop
Legend has it that the moss grows
on the north side of the trees
Legend has it when the rain comes down,
all the worms come up to breathe
Legend has it when the sunbeams come,
All the plants, they eat them with their leaves
Legend has it that the world spins
round on an axis of 23 degrees
But have you heard the story
of the rabbit in the moon
Or the cow that hopped the planets
while straddling a spoon
Or she, who leapt up mountains,
while whistling up a tune
And swapped her songs with swallows
while riding on a broom
Well, we can all learn things both many and a-few
From that old hunched woman
who lived inside a shoe
Or the girl that sang by day
and by night she ate tear soup
Or the man who drank too much
and he got the brewers' droop
