"Then I'll Start Believing" lyrics

Then I'll Start Believing

Twinkle, twinkle, little star

Tell me how the cow
Jumped over the moon
How the little lady lived
In a shoe
How Jack on the beanstalk
Climbed to the sky
Then I'll start believing in you

Tell me how Jack Horner
Got a plumb from his thumb
And how Humpty Dumpty fell
I'm a lot more able
To believe in a fable
Than all the other stories you tell

You've got a new fur coat
And you told me quote
You've won it at a Stanley party
Stanley must be quite a guy
And his parties sure run high
Cause the price tag read
Four hundred and forty

So tell me, Cinderella
Did you get your fellow
Just by losing your shoe?
When I've got the time
To believe in nursery rhymes
Then I'll start believing in you

You come home the other day
From the PTA
With your hair a little dumped and beaten
Now they don't wear bikinis
And hand out martinis
Down at the school house meetings

Four and twenty blackbirds
Baked in a pie
Every little verse I know
When I believe there's truth
In old mother goose
Then I'll start believing in you
Then I'll start believing in you

Mary had a little lamb
