The Wishing Wife |
| Once upon a time there was a man who scorned his wife |
| He was never happy with his lot or with his life |
| His manners they were miserable |
| And he couldn’t be polite |
| And his wife found a wishing well one morning |
| She said I wish to all you’ll hear me |
| I wish with all I see |
| Take this man and make him small |
| As small as he can be… |
| This man he was as spoilt as the cat that got the cream |
| He would shout and swear and carry on like you have never seen |
| Childlike and stubborn |
| Like a mule by the sea |
| Then his wife found a wishing well one morning |
| She said I wish to all you’d hear me |
| I wish with all I see |
| Take this man and make him kind |
| As kind as he can be… |
| This man he took no pleasure in the beauty of the land |
| Money was the only thing that he could understand |
| Selfish as a clam he was |
| Let all the rest be damned |
| Then his wife found a wishing well one morning |
| She said I wish to all you’ll hear me |
| I wish with all I see |
| Take this man and make him smile |
| As happy as can be… |
| That night they fell asleep within the comfort of that bed |
| A strange wind was whispering just what the wife had said |
| In the morning where the man had laid |
| There was a dog instead |
| And his wife cried for joy in the morning! |
| She said I wish to all you’ll hear me |
| I wish with all I see |
| Take this man and make him mine |
| For all eternity… |
