Fairy Tale Lyrics

Little Jack Horner fell in love with the witch up on the moon
Her name was Mother Hubbard she kept whiskey in her cubbard
So her wings were made of spoons
They dated for a week and they married on the beach
But the witch thought it was soon
So the three blind said it was all very nice and they moved up on the moon

They had a little girl,her name was Bo Peep
She was pretty she was bright
She put on her red coat and went to see grandma
But disappeared in the night
Jack wouldn't eat fat, Hubbard wouldn't eat lean
So they got into a fight
Jack grew a beanstalk, big and green
So they climbed into the sky

Somewhere in the clouds they lost each other
When the cow jumped over the moon
But old Mother Hubbard found little Miss Muffet
Now their on their honeymoon

Cover art for Fairy Tale lyrics by Cloud Cult

just a crazy spin on fairy tales I guess?

sounds so different than other cloud cult songs I've listened to.

Its about Craig Minnowa's son, who when he was two in 2002. I didn't realize when i first heard the it, I thought it was just a quirky song. Gives it a whole new meaning, doesnt it?

I believe these lyrics are partially wrong...

"They dated for a week and they married on the beach But the witch thought it was soon So the three blind said it was all very nice and they moved up on the moon"

it should be...

"They dated for a week and they married on the beach But the wolf thought it was too soon So the three blind mice said it was all very nice and they moved up on the moon"

call me a picky bastard, but I don't care what you think.

My Opinion

I also dont really think that the lyrics are only about his son... I think its a little deeper than that. Bo peep would be his son, obviously. Maybe someone knows more about his home life, but I think the song ends with his wife leaving him or something, but I'm pulling that out of nowhere, I dont know much about him. All in all, I think the song basically describes his problems in his life... correct me if I'm wrong, please.

well his son died... i don't think things can get much worse than that, thus songs about anything more deep.

anyways-- this song is amazing just as all other cloud cult songs.
