Lyrics

A princess rides her unicorn up into the starry night Floating down the jet stream, mostly out of sight Drifting down by the seashore, lost in the mists of time Or up in the mountain villages just as the sun goes down Mom's tell kids the stories of her laughter in the skies Who would know it was just Zoe, in her princess disguise As a mermaid, she rides the waves, out where the breakers roll Some surfers say they've seen her Or heard the tales that the sea captains told Down by the Equator where Poseidon rules the deep Or out in the South Sea islands where those drowsey natives sleep The song of Zoe can be heard drifting over the waves Full of ancient stories of life and love and glory Zoeeeee, Princesssss, a unicorn's best friend The stars await her orders, on her they can depend Zoeeeee, Merrrrmaid, Poseidon's very best friend The oceans stand in awe of her, on Zoe they can depend She's full of ancient wisdom, the girls with the long blonde hair The one we know as Zoe, that maiden sweet and fair Brighter than a sunflower, with the wisdom of a sage A fresh breeze in a cold old world, no one would guess her age Singing her songs all day long, brightening up our world Laughing, crying, dancing, sighing, as princess, Zoe rules A teacher sits in her classroom as her students filter in The school bell rings and they all sit down Ready for the fun to begin Zoe holds up a beautiful hand followed by her students eyes "The stars are waiting out there for you", she says "Who's gonna get first prize "Study up. Make a plan. For knowledge you must thirst "Those stars are waiting for us. Who's gonna get their first Zoe, long blond hair like the stars in the winter sky The universe holds it's breath hopping she'll soon fly by Zoeeeee, Teeeacher. Her student's very best friends Trusting every word she says. On Zoe they can depend A grand old lady in her castle surrounded by a flock of grandkids All begging her for a story of what she did as a kid Zoe speaks with a twinkle in her eye "If you got a unicorn, you can go sky high They all huddle 'round as she begins So quiet you could hear the drop of a pin As her lips begin to move, the universe unfolds Stories of the secrets that the universe holds Zoe, princess, mermaid, teacher, gramma, friend And that's how the story ends Zoe, Grandmother, Unicorn's best friend Her grandkids stand in awe of her And that's how the story ends
