Angelo Branduardi - The Hare In The Moon Lyrics
Once upon the time when all the world was youngThere lived three friends so the legend runsThere was a monkey called eyes and a fox called noseAnd a hare called ears so the story goesUp hill and down dale forever togetherExploring their green world, discussing the weatherAnd every night when all the stars were shiningEach one held two more close untill the morningYou'll never guess what happened next thoughWell, wait just a minute and I'll tell youOne summers day up to those threeCame a white haired sage and friends said heI will pay with gold for some well cooked meatI have travelled far and fain would eatThe fox and the monkey went off whispering togetherWhile the hare went on playing as carefree as everAnd little did suspect what evil they plannedThat she would be the meal to feed the old manYou'll never guess what happened next thoughWell, wait just a minute and I'll tell youThe fox ran swift and caught the hareWhile the monkey build a roasting fireBut said the old man wait with a tear in his eyeThis sad betrayal 's changed my mindCome with me now hare leave your two false friendsNo more men will trust themBut you you'll have a fine endWhen men look up into the moon's right cornerThey'll see you running happy ever afterAnd now they'll know just how you got thereYada di di...Once upon the time when all the world was youngThere lived three friends so the legend runsThere was a monkey called eyes and a fox called noseAnd a hare called ears so the story goesBut two betrayed one so she left to runHigh in the sky as the moon's right eyeAnd if you look and she's not running for youHalf close your eyes you'll see her I assure youBeware the fox beware the monkeyThey might just betray you as they did her...
