Once upon a time
There was more than enough time
To pony up
To horse around
To leap frog
Once upon a time
You could chicken out
Or worm your way in
You could cook your goose
And eat it too
Once upon a time
You could cry wolf
Or clam up
You could count sheep
Or tell a whale of a tale
You could get the monkey
Off your back
Then live high on the hog
But time has outfoxed us all
Nowadays time is on the lamb
