Once Upon a Time
once while sailing on the sea
my sail boat sunk deserting me
i treaded water as long as i could
i needed something like a block of wood
but just when there was no hope left
just before my very last breath
there came beside me and lifted me up
a dolphin who would eventually
shore me up. i named him flipper
once while walking through the woods
i got lost like only i could
i did'nt know east from west
and concluded i was in a terrible mess
and to make things worse there began a terrible fire
get out of these wood's was my greatest desire
i was surounded by smoke and flames
and i knew that this was the end of the game
when then came running to my rescue
a great black horse, i jumped on him
that horse he took me straight to the barn
away from the fire, away from all harm
a boy came out and brushed his mane
i thanked the boy who told me Fury was his name
once when i was just a little boy
my daddy got me a puppy dog
a full blooded collie with papers and all
after that nothing was good enough
for me and my dog
we went here and we went there
the people they loved us everywhere
when ever i talked it was like he knew what i was saying
late at night while we look at the star's
we would have conversations
one night i had a diabedic sesure
no one to help except my dog
he knocked the phone off the reciever and dialed 911
my dog lassie saved me from certian death
