There once was a kingdom
that was ruled by a king.
He'd soon have a son--
that's what he was wishing.

But a daughter he had,
and still he rejoiced
so the king threw a ball
and their happiness was voiced.

The young princess was named--
her name was Aurora.
She was showed with gifts;
The first came from Flora.

She blessed her with beauty
then next came dear Faun
and she blessed her with song.
Then she came to curse her.

Malificent came
and cursed her with death!
Then just as she came,
Malificent left.

Merryweather was smart
and she used the last gift
and changed death to sleep
only awakened by kiss.

She was soon sixteen --
the day of her 'death'.
The death that would turn
into and endless rest.

Aurora became
a sweet Sleeping Beauty
Because Merryweather's gift
had done it's duty.

She would only awake
by the kiss of one prince.
The prince was named Philip
and their young love was bliss.

But death struck him down
by Malificent's hand.
Now Aurora was dead,
just as she'd planned.
