Oh blue bird, blue bird, dancing tree to tree
The summer sun is sinking low in the west
Fly me there, for the fearful dragon is chasing me
Escaping this kingdom would be for the best
Throw me my sword;  time is quickly running out.

Oh blue bird, blue bird, my knees may be scraped but my spirit is not
The fair princess is calling my name from a distant place
Wind is cutting my face, convincing me I am shot
Don’t fail me now, legs, this is more than a race
Tonight we bury this throne.
