This is actually based of a really really old folk song called the Two Magicians, but... not exactly traditional like, ne?

"Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal black smith You have done me no harm You never shall have my maidenhead That I have kept so long I'd rather die a maid Ah, but then she said and be buried all in my grave Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky Coal black smith A maiden I will die

She became a duck, a duck all on the stream And he became a water dog and fetched her back again

She became a star, a star all in the night And he became a thundercloud and muffled her out of sight

She became a rose, a rose all in the wood And he became a bumble bee and kissed her where she stood"

etc, etc.

I really like Stephin's take on it though.
