Four little sailors went out on a dory
And traveled around the world one day
They came back with a pocket full of stories
Of people and places from far away
Stories of magic from far off China
Stories of pirates that crossed the Main
Stories of the nights in Asia Minor
And stories of the love in the hills of Spain
All around the world they traveled
Making friends where'ere they'd go
Telling tales from here to yonder
Sailing high and sailing low
Who can be these four little sailors?
Do you know these travelers four?
Princesses and timeless tailors
Will be their friends forever more
And the first one's name was Once Upon A Time
The second one's name was Chapter Ten
The third one's name was Happily Thereafter
The last one's name was just The End
Have you seen these four little friends?
They are here for you and me
Try and find them if you can
And wond'rous your reward will be
For they will live throughout the ages
In our hearts and minds they dwell
They are found among the pages
Of the books upon the shelves
And the first ones name was
