《Storybook Ball》歌词

[00:03:24] Montgomery-Perry

[00:03:24] VERSE 1. In Mother Goose's book up in the nurs'ry,

[00:03:24] Poor Simple Simon said, "I'm feeling sad."

[00:03:24] Said Peter Piper's daughter, "So am I, and think we oughter

[00:03:24] Try to think of something that will make us glad."

[00:03:24] So Smarty Smarty said, "I'll give a party,"

[00:03:24] And they called on the Old Woman in the Shoe.

[00:03:24] The cat she brought her fiddle, and she played "high diddle diddle,"

[00:03:24] And what happened then, I'm goin' to tell to you.

[00:03:24] CHORUS 1: Little Jackie Horner, eating pie up in the corner,

[00:03:24] Stuck in his thumb, pulled out a plum.

[00:03:24] Little Missy Muffet she was sitting on a tuffet,

[00:03:24] And she said, "Yum, yum! Please give me some."

[00:03:24] Little Georgie Porgie with his pudding and pie,

[00:03:24] Kissed Mary Quite Contrary till he made her cry;

[00:03:24] And Little Bo Peep she lost her sheep

[00:03:24] And couldn't find 'em, their tails behind 'em.

[00:03:24] Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater had a wife and couldn't keep her.

[00:03:24] At the ball in the hall.

[00:03:24] Humpty Dumpty met her, said, "Better that I get her

[00:03:24] And I'll make her fall." That's not all.

[00:03:24] Old King Cole, that merry old soul,

[00:03:24] He fell for Mother Hubbard, blew his big bankroll

[00:03:24] Buying lollipops and pretties for the kiddies at the Story Book Ball.

[00:03:24] VERSE 2. They danced and sang till early in the morning.

[00:03:24] They really didn't know just when to stop;

[00:03:24] So as the day was dawning and the kiddies all were yawning,

[00:03:24] They found out the mouse had run up in the clock.

[00:03:24] Then Jack Be Nimble, Jack Be Quick, he started,

[00:03:24] And right over that big candlestick he flew.

[00:03:24] Then Little Tommy Tucker started singing for his supper,

[00:03:24] And then Poor Boy Blue said, "Gee, I'm hungry too."

[00:03:24] CHORUS 2: Peter Piper picked a peck of pickling peppers,

[00:03:24] Brought 'em to the hall, and that's no stall.

[00:03:24] Tommy Tom the piper's son, he stole a pig and away he run

[00:03:24] To the ball. Ah, that's not all.

[00:03:24] Polly put the kettle on. The tea got cold.

[00:03:24] They had to eat the porridge that was nine days old.

[00:03:24] Then Jack fell down. Jill broke her crown

[00:03:24] And spilled the water. She hadn't oughter.

[00:03:24] Four and twenty blackbirds were baking in a pie,

[00:03:24] And they refused to sing anything.

[00:03:24] Wasn't that an awful way little birds to act

[00:03:24] Before a queen and king? Such a thing!

[00:03:24] Said the knave and the king to the Queen of Hearts,

[00:03:24] "Come on. Hurry up, honey. Bring some tarts."

[00:03:24] So she did and the kids had a picnic at the Story Book Ball.
