The Fairytale Wakes

47 - A Forgotten Nursery Song

Be bold and brave with cleverness

Be bold like the river bend

But ne'er forget your kindness

For it will win you friends.

Be cunning and use your cleverness

When the challenge comes to town

But ne'er forget your kindness

For evil will drag you down.

Now win your fortune with cleverness

Win your kingdom and country true

But ne'er forget your kindness

Or the next villain will be you.

The next villain will be you, be you

The next villain will be you.

(A/N: I've been reading a story with a lot of old folk songs interwoven in it, and wanted to try my own with some common fairytale themes woven in. I can imagine a group of kids singing this innocently while a misbegotten King or Queen scowls. Yes, I have a weird imagination.)
