I once knew a woman
Who laced up her boots
Her head was an elm
And her long legs were roots
When the streets are all empty
You might find her there
Her skin was the moon
And the river her hair

Sleeping beauty never got kissed
She’s lying in bed
Wondering what she missed
Sleeping beauty
Never got kissed
One, two, three
One, two three!

Aah! Aah!

I cracked a fresh egg
On the blue metal pan
I coaxed on the fire
I spread the black jam
We sat gabbing stories
‘Til the mountains, they cried
Snow covered rivers
With brambles inside
Well, Cinderella got a divorce
She got to keep the pumpkin
And the one white horse
Cinderella
Got a divorce
Eins, zwei, drei
Eins, zwei, drei!

Aah! Aah!

She crept up behind me
And covered my eyes
Hands smelled like candles
Burnt up by sunrise
We went to the crossroads
And she left me alone
Under the 36th star
With spells and old tomes

Aah! Aah!

The sky got too dark
There were frogs by your toes
They sang murky love songs
Of water, I suppose
I danced with the smithy
I danced with the thief
I danced with a woman
She shook like a leaf
Bending down treetops
The wind rose up high
We lifted our faces
And our bones to the sky
But they were soon coming
And it was close to our time
We shall be caught dancing
In the mud and the slime

Don’t you know that
Little red riding hood
Ate the wolf
She started with the tongue
And ended with a huff, hah!
Little red riding hood
Ate the wolf
One, two, three
One, two, three!

Aah! Aah!
