A Fairy Story Lyrics
In days of old in a kingdom bold, there lived a fearsome dragon
And the King he was in great distress and the countries spirits flaggoned
Until one day there came a knight, he was handsome, bold, and charming
And he slew the dragon with his sword with a smile that was so disarming
With a hey and a ho and a hey nany no, a smile that was so disarming
Said the King I wish to know your name, but the knight said do not bother
For the name of a knight of the realm says he, is the same as any other
Said the King tonight in my daughter's bed you shall take your leisure
And she'll reward you for your deed, with a night of exhausting pleasure
With a hey and a ho and a hey nany no, a night of exhausting pleasure
One daughter she had raven hair, a maiden young and chaste
And she slept all night in the pale moonlight, naked to the waist
The other daughter she was fair, the fairest in the town
And she slept all night in the pale moonlight naked from her small waist down
With a hey and a ho and a hey nany no, naked from her small waist down
Well the knight he spends many hour behind the castle wall
But the ending to my story dear, isn't what it seems at all
For in neither bed of neither maid was he repaid for his glory
But he slept all night with the King instead for this is a fairy story
With a hey and a ho and a hey nany no, for this is a fairy story
And the King he was in great distress and the countries spirits flaggoned
Until one day there came a knight, he was handsome, bold, and charming
And he slew the dragon with his sword with a smile that was so disarming
With a hey and a ho and a hey nany no, a smile that was so disarming
For the name of a knight of the realm says he, is the same as any other
Said the King tonight in my daughter's bed you shall take your leisure
And she'll reward you for your deed, with a night of exhausting pleasure
With a hey and a ho and a hey nany no, a night of exhausting pleasure
And she slept all night in the pale moonlight, naked to the waist
The other daughter she was fair, the fairest in the town
And she slept all night in the pale moonlight naked from her small waist down
With a hey and a ho and a hey nany no, naked from her small waist down
But the ending to my story dear, isn't what it seems at all
For in neither bed of neither maid was he repaid for his glory
But he slept all night with the King instead for this is a fairy story
With a hey and a ho and a hey nany no, for this is a fairy story
