Legend has it that the moss grows on the north side of the trees
Well, legend has it when the rains come down, all the worms come up to breathe
Well, legend has it when the sunbeams come, all the plants, they eat them with their leaves
Well, legend has it that the world spins 'round on an axis of twenty-three degrees
But have you heard the story of the rabbit in the Moon?
Or the cow that hopped the planets while straddling a spoon?
Or she who leapt up mountains while whistling up a tune
And swapped her songs with swallows while riding on a broom?
Well, we can all learn things, both many and a-few
From that old hunched woman who lived inside a shoe
Or the girl that sang by day and by night she ate tear soup
Or the man who drank too much and he got the brewer's droop
Come listen up all ye fair maids to how the moral goes
Nobody knew and nobody knows
How the pobble was robbed of his twice five toes
Or how the dong came to own a luminous nose
Or how the jumblies went to sea in a sieve that they rowed
And came to shore by the chankly bore where the bong trees grow
Where the jabberwocky's small green tentacles do flow
And the quanglewangle plays in the rain and the snow
But have you heard the story of the rabbit in the Moon?
Or the cow that hopped the planets while straddling a spoon?
Or she who leapt up mountains while whistling up a tune
And swapped her songs with swallows while riding on a broom?
Well, we can all learn things, both many and a-few
From that old hunched woman who lived inside a shoe
Or the girl that sang by day and by night she ate tear soup
Or the man who drank too much and he got the brewer's droop
Legend has it that the moss grows on the north side of the trees
