Abiola

In a far and distant country Lived a strange and a fearsome beast They said he killed the farmers' cattle And laid waste to the farmers' fields Laid waste to the farmers' fields So the King sent out his criers And they roamed from town to town Pledging a plot of land and his daughter's hand To him who laid the Monster down To him who laid the Monster down La la la la li da da La la la la la la la la la la Now Abiola, the shepard's daughter Hadn't heard of the King's decree She never paid much heed to rumors And she headed out into the fields She headed out into the fields When she came across the creature She could not believe her eyes Cause out of all the things she had ever seen She'd never seen a monster cry Seen a monster cry The Monster said to the young girl I never did those evil deeds But the King has tried to blame me And no one dares to not believe No one dares to not believe" He wants the pastures for his horses He wants the orchards for his thieves And if the farmers come to fear me Then the King gets what he needs Yea, the King gets what he needs La la la la li da da La la la la la la la la la la Abiola said to the Monster "We are going into town And till then we'll cry From the rooftops high And we'll spread the truth around Yea, we'll spread the truth around" Well, the children all believed them But the grownups took their time To break their fear Though it was clear That the fearsome beast was kind Oh, the fearsome beast as kind Then the people stormed the castle And they drove the old King out And for her bravery, truth, and kindness They gave Abi the crown Yea, they gave Abiola the crown
