Here’s a fun little song that can be sung with pretty much any 4 line nursery rhyme out there, so have fun adding your own verses to it. It’s my goal to someday have as many verses as the Birthday Dirge. Someday. Maybe.
- Can you ride on dragon’s wings?
- Can you hear the Siren sing?
- Can you find the Unicorn
- And be healed with a touch of her horn?
- Chorus: Imagination runs ‘round wild
- In the Imagination of a child!
- Imagination never fails~
- Come and join this faerie tale!
- Snow White, with gentle hand
- Was the fairest in the land
- Ate and apple, fell asleep,
- The Prince woke her up with a kiss on the cheek
- Can you cast a mighty spell?
- Release a gryphon from its shell?
- Or slog your way through field and fen
- Can you speak to both gods and men?
- Pinnochio was a wooden toy
- Wanted to be a real boy
- His nose grew long when he told lies
- The Blue Faerie brought him to life!
- Do you believe in all these tales
- With child-like trust that never fails?
- If you, too, can do these things
- You will be richer than any king!
Suggested nursery rhymes: Jack & Jill, Mary Mary Quite Contrary, Little Bo Peep, Little Boy Blue, Humpty Dumpty, etc – really, anything that fits the scansion.
