A                               E 
The three little pigs have done built up their home's 
        D                           A 
And the wolf's been chased from the door

And little Bo Peep has done found all her sheep

And the monsters ain't under your bed 
   G         D             E 
It's time to lay down your head 
 

               G     D     
But baby don't cry---y 
     A 
Your never alone

And I'll fly---y 
    A 
As fast as I can

But baby don't cry---y----y

She's stuck in that castle as you close your eyes

And drift off to that fairytale place
