Letras de The Hare in the Moon

Once upon a time
When all the world was young
There lived three friends
So the legend runs

There was a monkey called Eyes
And a fox called Nose
And a hare called Ears
So the story goes

Uphill and down there forever together
Exploring their green world discussing the weather
And every night when all the stars were shining
Each one held two more close until the morning

You′ll never guess what happened next though
Well, wait just a minute and I'll tell you

One summer′s day
Up to those three
Came a white-haired sage and friends said he
I will pay with gold for some well-cooked meat
I've traveled far and fame who'd eat

The fox and the monkey went whispering off together
While the hare went on playing as carefree as ever
And little did suspect what evil they planned
That she would be the meal to feed the old man

You′ll never guess what happened next though
Well, wait just a minute and I′ll tell you

The fox ran swift and caught the hare
While the monkey built a roasting fire
But said the old man wait with a tear in his eye
This sad betrayal's changed my mind
Come with me now hare and leave your two false friends
No more men will trust them but here you′ll have a fine end
When men look up into the moon's right corner
They′ll see you running happy ever after
And now they'll know just how you got there

Once upon a time
When all the world was young

There lived three friends so the legend runs
There was a monkey called Eyes
And a fox called Nose
And a hare called Ears
So the story goes

But two betrayed one so she left to run
High in the sky as the moon′s right eye
And if you look and she's not running for you
Half close your eyes you'll see her I assure you
Beware the fox beware the monkey
They might just betray you as they did her
