The piper did play


the piper did play
and some say

he saved a kingdom
united a land into one

the piper of whaletown
played in a blue gown
skipping merrily along his way

dancing with little ones
and very short nuns
the piper of whaletown
had all thier hearts won

then one day the king summoned
it seemed his anger flared
and from hades most certainly did come

for he was unrested
because of all the badness of life he won

play for me you gay little piper of whaletown
give me a song
or my wrath will fall on this land like dung

all the children and nuns
will no longer dance to your songs
with merry

all cheer will cease
like a matador with bulls horns stung

so play now
play quick little piper
for your king is bed with anger
your notes decide the dawn to come

so the piper did play a melody
wondering if his requiem mass
would next come

on and on his belly gave lovely note and key
on and on with harmony
on and on with melodic pleasantries

but the king did stop him
expresionless
seemingly unaffected
by the piper's musical stress

now listen here
the piper then gulped
I hear your song piper
and I do like
a song did bring melody
to a once dead life

it seems there is joy in dancing
it seems goodness can come from a heart slain
it would seem you are a medical practitioner
for a piper can cure pain
