lyrics

jack be nimble, jump and spin
jack's a little hard to handle but he plays to win
now the sheep's in the meadow, and the kids are sleepin
little bo peep, she don't know the company you're keepin

hey tonya
the hour is overdue
for the hunter's moon in you
to come out and shine

hey tonya
i would not take you to task
for the wolf behind the mask
she's a friend of mine

and anytime
they surround you with their silver-bullet tongues
and you can't find a way to face 'em and
there's no place to run

and the queen of hearts holed up in london tower
come thunderin down
and big ben chimes the midnight hour

hey tonya
if you called me i would come
we would make the peasants run
we'd light up the sky

hey tonya
they got nothin left to steal
and if they chained you to wheel
you would pine and die
so would i

now the winner's circle makes the rules in court
we get our spin on the wheel of fortune but we always come up short
so we play the game as long as we are able
but heaven's for the blessed, and the rest is just a young girl's fable

hey tonya
i got nothin up my smile
and i been a good long while
up against this wall

hey tonya
fame is only for a day
and we all have feet of clay
and even angels fall
after all
