Lyrics
Once upon a time, there was a mouse, who lived in a chocolate house
The moon was in the middle of the sea, and there was a bride to be
There was a skull on a cannon, but the bells tolled for no one
There was an unmade bed, where I tossed, turned and laid my head
And next to the fountain a boy so cold, all dressed up in silver and gold
Refrain
There was an ounce of imagination and an inch of incantation
But there was nothing, nothing more, for anyone at all
There were rambling flowers that sang of love for hours
There were figs so sweet picked by children to eat
There were birds in the morning, tired but happy from singing
A pretty girl called Rose with freckles on her nose
And horses in the fields wearing helmets, swords and shields
There was the sun there was the moon there was a skull there was a spoon
There was the sea there was a daughter, there was a bird there were seeds
There was a lover in the bedroom, there was silver there were diamonds
There was a rose, there were figs, there was more than anybody knows
There was even a little dove, singing a song of true love
Once upon a time, there was a mouse and he lived in a chocolate house
