The Emperor's New Clothes

Lyrics
CHORUS
Every day the people would stop, to look at the Emperor's new clothes
Sunshine or rain they'd all stop, to look at the Emperor's new clothes
To look at the Emperor's new clothes
He wore something different every day
All of his subjects would look at him and say
'You look so fine your majesty you do'
In your yellow and your red and your green and blue
CHORUS
Two sneaky swindlers arrived one day
Went to the Emperor and they did say
We'll make you the finest clothes in the land
Which a fool can't see but wise men can
They asked for some silk and golden thread
They put up two looms and then they said
We'll spin all the day and all through the night
From dusk until dawn and the morning light
CHORUS
The Emperor sent his servants to see
If the clothes were as fine as he thought that they would be
They looked at the loom there was nothing there
'We'll have to pretend, we do not dare'
To say that we see two empty looms
And no fine clothes anywhere in the room'
But the Emperor himself was curious to see
If the clothes were as lovely as he'd been promised they would be
And when there was nothing he was aghast and amazed
But decided that the swindlers should still be praised
He pretended to be pleased and just stood there spellbound - and said
'I will wear these fine clothes when I march through the town' - well
LAST CHORUS
The people next day all stopped, to look at the Emperor's new clothes
He marched down the street, they all stopped, to look at the Emperor's - new clothes
To look at the Emperor's new clothes'
Pinocchio's Nose
Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon
Lyrics
I would like to make something clear
Before I sing you this song
Pinocchio's nose was always
Just a teensy bit too long
CHORUS
Everybody knows when Pinocchio's nose
Grows and grows everybody knows
When Pinocchio's nose grows and grows
He's telling a lie and everybody knows
About Pinocchio's nose
He lied to his father
He broke the golden rule
Pretended that he, all of the day
Had been working hard at school (it was a lie)
CHORUS
Pinocchio was late for lessons one day
And so the teacher asked him why
He said 'There was a bird on the side of the road
And I stopped because it could not fly' (it was a lie)
CHORUS
Gepetto bought a book for his son
But he sold it for a puppet show
Pinocchio said 'I know that it's wrong
But Gepetto will never know' (another lie)
CHORUS (instrumental)
You'll be pleased to know that Pinocchio
Decided that he would be good
His nose is now just like yours and mine
In fact it's perfectly fine
Now everybody knows that Pinocchio's nose
No longer grows and everybody knows that
Pinocchio's nose no longer grows
And if you look him in the eye, he won't tell a lie,
He's happy as can be, so can we all agree
There's nothing more to say about...Pinnochio's nose

The Grand Old Duke of York (the Rest of the Story)
Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon
Lyrics
CHORUS
Oh the grand old Duke of York
He had 10,000 men
He marched them up to the top of the hill
And he marched them down again.
And when they were up they were up
And when they were down they were down
And when they were only half way up
They were neither up nor down.
CHORUS
One poor chap disappeared
A quick trip to the loo
When he came back he said to the Duke
“Lucky there wasn’t a queue!”
CHORUS
Another chap looked rather ill
He sat down by a tree
All that he wanted was a little lie down
And a nice hot cup of tea
CHORUS
This chap who liked drinking tea
Had a second, a third and then
Before he could think of having a fourth
It was off to the loo again.
CHORUS
There was much complaining
About the Duke of York
And it was even suggested
That frankly he was a dork
CHORUS
The Pied Piper of Hamelin
Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon
Lyrics
Now listen I’ll tell you a tale
A story from long time ago
In Hamelin there was a plague
A plague of dirty rats.
They ate all the cheese from the vats
And spoiled the ladies’ chats
By speaking and shrieking and squeaking
In fifty different sharps and flats.
Chorus
Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of rats
Cheeky and sneaky and ravenous rats
Fought with the dogs and they killed the cats
Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of rats.
Then one day a stranger appeared
Dressed in bright yellow and red
Said he “The Pied Piper am I
And I can get rid of those rats”.
Chorus
The piper stepped out in the street
Put his pipe to his lips and he played
He danced all the way across town…..
The people of Hamelin cheered
And rang all the bells in the town
“Go” said the Mayor “and get poles
Poke out the nests and block up the holes”.
So the piper went back to the Mayor
Who’d faithfully promised to pay
One thousand guilders reward
The Mayor said “Fifty is all you will get.”
Chorus
The piper stepped out in the street
And once again started to play
And all over Hamelin town
Came the patter of tiny feet.
They followed the piper up Koppelberg Hill
A door in the mountain swung open until
All of the children were safely inside
Then that door in the mountain swung shut.
And that’s how this sad story ends
Not one of those children returned
The lesson is clear to us all
A promise made is a promise kept.
Chorus
Robin Hood’s Dream

Lyrics
There once lived a man who stole from the rich and gave to the poor
He gathered round him men like himself score after score
Together they lived in the forest green
And he told them all of his dream
CHORUS
He dreamed of an England safe and free
Where all men lived in harmony
Free from the sheriff’s gallows high
Free from the bailiff’s searching eye
England o England free for you and me
England o England free for you and me
They made their home among the trees and dressed in lincoln green
A finer band of outlawed men had never been seen
Together they feasted on the deer
And as longbow archers had no peer
CHORUS
He had no time for barons and priests who lived by the law
The law which made the rich man rich by taking from the poor
Together they resolved to try
To change this way of life or die
CHORUS (repeated)
Snow White and The Prince

Lyrics
Snow White lay so still on a lonely lonely hill
Seven dwarfs kept their watch around the coffin they sat
The wind blew the wind blew the night was eeirie and black
Snow White they loved her still but she’s never coming back
The day dawned morning broke no strangers passed that way
O wicked Queen wicked Queen see what you have done
She was the fairest the fairest of them all
The seven dwarfs bowed their heads until the day was done
The next day there came a prince mounted on his steed
He saw Snow White and fell down on bended knee
He lifted and held her, then kissed her rosy red lips
A piece of apple fell to the ground and Snow White opened her eyes
The Prince gazed in wonder at this girl who he thought was dead
He asked her to be his bride and this is what she said
‘I love you I love you, forever we shall live’
Happy together still that’s how the story ends
