lyrics

A Fairy Went A-Marketing
Based on a poem by Rose Fyleman, Terry T. Grosvenor ©1994
Music and lyrics ©1994 Terry Taffinder Grosvenor
R&T Grosvenor Publishing

A fairy went a -marketing-
She bought a little fish;
She put it in a crystal bowl
Upon a golden dish.
An hour she sat in wonderment
And watched its silver gleam,
And then she gently took it up
And slipped it in a stream.

A fairy went a -marketing-
She bought a colored bird;
It sang the sweetest shrillest song
That she had ever heard.
She sat beside the painted cage
And listened half the day,
And then she opened wide the door
And let it fly away.

A fairy went a -marketing-
She bought a winter gown;
All stitched about with gossamer
And lined with thistledown.
She wore it all afternoon
With prancing and delight,
Then gave it to a little frog
To keep him warm at night.

A fairy went a -marketing-
She bought a gentle mouse;
To take her tiny messages,
To keep her tiny house.
All day she kept its busy feet
Pit-patting to and fro,
Then kissed it on its silken ears,
Thanked it, and let it go. (2x)
