Lily O' Lily
Refrain
This is the story of Lily O'Lily, Lily O'Lily and the big black hole
If you haven't heard the story of Lily O'Lily , it really is a story that needs to be told.
______
Well Lily wasn't looking where she was going when she went out on a morning stroll.
'Cos if Lily had been looking where she was going she would have seen that big black hole.
And she fell right in and her legs weren't long enough, to jump up out and her arms weren't strong enough to pull herself up out of that hole.
She said please, please help me please.
It's dark down here, I've got mud on my knees. I'm stuck down a hole, I'm only 10 years old!
Refrain
Then out of the darkness, out of the blue, crawled a little green bug.
He climbed into her hair and he just sat there, staring at the clouds above.
So Lily jumped and down but her legs weren't long enough.
The bug wouldn't bugde and her arms weren't strong enough to pull herself up out of that hole.
She said please, please help me please.
It's dark down here, I've got mud on my knees.
There's bug in my hair, it's just not fair.
I'm stuck down a hole, I'm only 10 years old!
Refrain
Then out of the darkness, out of the blue, there flew a mean mosquito.
He landed on her nose and Lily just froze. He said I'm pleased to meet you.
So Lily tried to kick him off but her legs weren't long enough.
He bit her on the the nose but her arms weren't strong enough to pull herself up out of that hole.
She said please, please help me please.
It's dark down here, I've got mud on my knees.
There's bug in my hair, it's just not fair.
A mosquito bit my nose and I wanna go home.
I'm stuck down a hole, I'm only 10 years old!
Refrain
Some years later to Lily's surprise appeared an old grey elephant.
He said I've lived down here for a hundred years, I can help you out of your predicament.
So Lily climbed on his trunk and his truck was long enough, to reach to the top and her arms were strong enough to pull herself up out of that hole.
She said I'm free, I'm free. Look at me. There's a bug in my hair and I just don't care. A mosquito bit my nose but I'm out of that hole. I'm gonna go home 'cos I'm out of that hole. But now I'm fifty years old...
