Once Upon a Time

Deep in a forest or high in the sky
A tale starts to unfold
See the bear, see the wolf
See the bird as she flies
Your favorite story is told

A fairy tale princess, a giant, a king
A dragon, a wizard, a troll
Put yourself in a story, you can be anything
Another story is told

Once upon a time, come with me I'll take you there
Once upon a time, so many stories that we can share
And who knows what we'll find?
Once upon a time

Over a rainbow or over the sea
There lies a pot of gold
So many treasures await you and me
So, come, let the story be told

Once upon a time…


2. GoldiRocks

In a house in a little village
Right on the edge of the wood
There is a girl with golden blonde curls
Whose idol is Johnny B. Goode

It started when she was a baby
She threw away her baby blocks
Other girls and boys played with their toys
But Goldie just wanted to rock

GoldiRocks!
GoldiRocks!
GoldiRocks!
Goldie, GoldiRocks!

Once when Goldie was walking
On a fateful day
She found a guitar that was thrown from a car
And she taught herself to play

Hear her practicing on the rooftop
Or underneath the covers at night
She may be loud, but Goldie’s proud
And that girl, she sounds all right

GoldiRocks!…


3. Temper Tantrum

You have got to be kidding
Is this some kind of joke
Am I on Candid Camera?
Are you just blowin’ smoke?

You can’t do this to me
This is just not fair
And if you would like to see angry
You had better be prepared...

No no no no no
I’m having a temper tantrum (temper tantrum)
Blow my stack, pop my top
Don’t you try to make her stop her tantrum (temper tantrum)
I’m having a temper tantrum

She’s hotter than a volcano
Screamin’ louder than a hurricane
Wilder than a beast, you know
I lose my temper, then I go insane

Don’t try to reason with her
She won’t listen to a word you say
The only thing I want to hear
Is that you will let me have my way

No no no…..


4. Everything I Know

Run away (run away)
I thought it was the right thing
Anywhere (anywhere)
Anywhere that I could go
But I’m far away from everything I know

Now, here I am (here I am)
Deep within the forest
Far away (far away)

Such a far away place to go
And though there is a beauty here
The breath of nature fills the air
It’s a little far from everything I know

It seemed like the only way but I never really tried
I never really listened to the ones who loved me most

Travel on (travel on)
I’ve got to find my way now
Chin up high (chin up high)
No time for feeling low
‘Cause somewhere out here there is a place
Where rules never show their face
But it’s away from everything I know

Home may be quite far away
But you can’t go back to yesterday
Can’t go back to everything I know

5. Bird Brain

I once met a chickadee who could navigate the Pyranees
A homing pigeon I once knew
Could fly to Paris and be home by two

I’ve seen the most miraculous birds from Zanzibar to Spain
And I’m proud to say that I have a bird brain
(He’s proud to say that he has a bird brain).

Is there a wiser song that you could make
Than a loony on a chilly lake?
Do you think you could catch fish like an Osprey could?
I say! You wish!

I’ve seen the very brightest birds from Zanzibar to Spain
And I’m proud to say that I have a bird brain
(He’s proud to say that he has a bird brain).

Do you think that you could carry
A sweeter tune than a Canary?
I’ve met no person that could see
As far as an Eagle, believe you me

If you think that birds are foolish creatures you must be insane
There never was a brighter beast that soared above the plain

I’ve seen extraordinary birds from Zanzibar to Spain
And I’m proud to say (he’s proud to say)
That I have a (that he has a)
Bird (bird), Bird (bird)
Bird, bird brain (bird, bird brain)


6. Porridge!

As hard as I may forage
Through every bit of storage
From the ceiling to the floorage
All they have to eat in here
It’s the honest truth, it is, I swear
All they have to eat in here is

Porridge!
Porridge!
Porridge Porridge Porridge Porridge Porridge!

As hard as she may forage
Through every bit of storage
From the ceiling to the floorage
All they have to eat in here
It’s the honest truth, it is, I swear
All they have to eat in here is
Porridge!…

Say it isn’t so, say it please...(Porridge!)
I’d give anything for macaroni and cheese...(Porridge!)
I’d settle for a bowl of peas...(Porridge!)
I think that I am going to sneeze
Or catch some form of rare disease
If I see one more bit of...

Porridge!
Porridge!
Porridge Porridge Porridge Porridge Porridge!

Porridge, makes me so sad.
Porridge, that’s all they have

Sticky! (sticky porridge)
Lumpy! (lumpy porridge)
Porridge!


7. Go for it!

Well, would Christopher Columbus ever have sailed the ocean blue?
Would human beings ever have stepped foot upon the moon?
Would peanut butter and jelly ever have made a rendezvous?
If someone somewhere didn’t say let’s go for something new?

Just go for it
Spread your wings and you will fly
Just go for it
How can a dream be satisfied?
Just go for it
If you don’t give it a try
Just go for it, go for it

Where would Orville and would Wilbur be if they had never tried?
To show the world that their airplane could make the first flight?
People laughed but they kept trying every day and night
Then Orville and his brother Wilbur finally got it...Wright!

Just go for it...

Dip your spoon, take a bite
It’s the porridge of your life

If there isn’t any danger, and it’s safe to do (go for it, go for it)
If you’re not doing it in anger then I’d do it to (go for it, go for it)
You gotta try new things, you gotta open wide (go for it, go for it)
Taste what life brings, just give it a try (go for it, just go for it)

Just go for it…


8. Three Little Bowls

Three little bowls, 1-2-3
And one little bowl’s just right for me
Here’s the first bowl, could it be?

Ok, last one. It’s....It’s....JUST RIGHT! (Yeah!)
You never know until you try

11. Grin and Bear It!

Well every bear you ever met
Has had some trouble I would bet
But instead of mopin’ ‘round all day
They just decide that it’s ok
To take out a smile and wear it

That’s right they
Grin and bear it
Grin and bear it
Grin and bear it

Have you ever seen a grizzly cry?
Or a teddy bear with a teary eye?
Pandas can be moody, yes
But if things get tough they do their best
To take out a smile and share it
Oh, yes they

Grin and bear it…

Still every once in a while for just a minute or two
A cry just might come over you
Let it wash away the thing that made you blue
Then take a deep breath and do what I do
You’ll feel better, then, I swear it

If you grin and bear it…

Wipe that frown right off of your face.
Wipe it away right now, just grin and bear it.
Wipe it a, wipe it a, wipe it away.
Don’t you ever let anybody ever hear you cryin’!
Grin and smile and grin and bear it.


12. Finale
(Everything I Know / GoldiRocks)

Run away (run away)
I thought it was the right thing
Anywhere (anywhere)
Anywhere that I could go

I thought I’d find a place to play
Somewhere very far away
Far away from everything I know

On my own (on my own)
I found that I was so wrong
I must go (I must go)
Back where I’m not alone

Back with all the ones who love me
Back with all my friends, my family
Back to the place that I can call my home

GoldiRocks!
GoldiRocks!
GoldiRocks!
Goldi, GoldiRocks!


13. Once Upon A Time Reprise

So another story has come to an end
Words of sorrow and of laughter
So many more stories are out there my friend
In the happily ever after

Once upon a time, come with me I’ll take you there
Once upon a time, so many stories that we can share
And who knows what we’ll find
Once upon a time
