Once I was a stone many years ago

Into a pool was thrown many years ago

Time passed by the pool ran dry excavated was I

And tempered and beat in a fiery heat

By the hand of a man who's name was Dan

Dan the blacksmith

Once I was a sword many years ago

And my blade was broad many years ago

Worn with pride into battle I'd ride at a warrior's side

And I cut and I killed and was lost in a field

And I soon did rust corrode to dust

Oh my

Once I was a daisy many years ago

In pastures green and lazy many years ago

But I was et by a goat who fell in a moat and forgetting to float

He sunk like a lead and stayed until dead

But was relieved to find just how kind it all was

Once I was a grub many years ago

I lived in muck and mud many years ago

But on the very first noon I became a cocoon that resembled a prune

When the Good Lord was done in the warmth of the sun

I shed my skins and dried my wings and I flew away

Once I was a bullfrog had to struggle for survival

And once I was a carp and lived in waters ornamental

And once I was a myna bird quoting verses from the Bible

Said pretty boy pretty boy St Luke

Once I was a mule a many years ago

But my master treat me cruel a many years ago

By and by I was sick couldn't move to his kick so he took out a stick

And hit it right 'cross my back to an almighty crack

And to his dismay I passed away into the blue

I was born a human baby many years ago

I was born unto a lady many years ago

All our hopes they were piled on the back of a child that turned out to be wild

Sent the devil a prayer and caused the parson to swear

So I took my leave to lie and thieve my way to jail

I've been tinker tailor soldier sailor

I've known good times and disaster

But now I've found a teacher and the teacher has a master

The master is perfection so he'll help us get there faster

I don't need no proof because that's the truth and I'll drink to that
