1
In a far and distant country,
2
Lived a strange and a fearsome beast
3
They said he killed the farmers' cattle
4
And laid waste to the farmers' fields,
5
Laid waste to the farmers' fields
6
So the King sent out his criers
7
And they roamed from town to town
8
Pledging a plot of land and his daughter's hand
9
To him who laid the Monster down,
10
To him who laid the Monster down
11
La la la la li da da
12
La la la la la la la la la la
13
Now Abiola, the shepard's daughter,
14
Hadn't heard of the King's decree
15
She never paid much heed to rumors
16
And she headed out into the fields,
17
She headed out into the fields
18
When she came across the creature,
19
She could not believe her eyes
20
Cause out of all the things she had ever seen
21
She'd never seen a monster cry,
22
Seen a monster cry
23
The Monster said to the young girl
24
I never did those evil deeds
25
But the King has tried to blame me
26
And no one dares to not believe,
27
No one dares to not believe"
28
He wants the pastures for his horses
29
He wants the orchards for his thieves
30
And if the farmers come to fear me
31
Then the King gets what he needs,
32
Yea, the King gets what he needs
33
La la la la li da da
34
La la la la la la la la la la
35
Abiola said to the Monster,
36
"We are going into town
37
And till then we'll cry
38
From the rooftops high
39
And we'll spread the truth around,
40
Yea, we'll spread the truth around"
41
Well, the children all believed them
42
But the grownups took their time
43
To break their fear
44
Though it was clear
45
That the fearsome beast was kind,
46
Oh, the fearsome beast as kind
47
Then the people stormed the castle
48
And they drove the old King out
49
And for her bravery, truth, and kindness,
50
They gave Abi the crown,
51
Yea, they gave Abiola the crown
52
La la la la li da da
53
La la la la la la la la la la
