Not too very long
ago there was this family
And a little girl whose favorite place was on her daddy's knee
The stories she remembers and how they brought such laughter
As once upon a times he read and happily ever afters
There was an old lady that lived in a shoe
Mary Mary quite contrary, Cinderella too
Baa Baa black sheep have you any wool?
Mary had a little lamb that followed her to school
And as he sat and read to her of princes and of
kings
Of silver bells and cockle shells and many other things
She sat right there with wonder, each story that he read
Kissed her on the forehead and carried her to bed
Little Miss Muffet and Cock-A-Doodle-Do
Three Litte Pigs and Little Boy Blue
Snow White, Goldilocks and Three Blind Mice
Sugar and spice and everything that's nice
And then like every other night she stood there
by his chair
She waited and she waited but her daddy wasn't there
And all the kings horses, and all the kings men
Could not put bring her daddy back home to her again
She remembers with such fondness the wonder of pretending
But just like pages in a book each story has an ending
She knows there couldn't ever be a sweeter memory
Than little girls and fairy tales upon their daddy's knee
