Verse 1
(G major) This is the story,
or let's call it the tale.
Oh, you do know that a tale
is another fant (D major) astic word for story,
don't you? It's the tale of... wait,
you do know that tale
is not only name of an animal park,
but another cool word for story.
You see, sometimes words
sound the same,
but have two completely
different meanings.
On with the story, I mean, the tale.
You see, King Butterfly got his name
because he was fearless,
Never afraid of anything.
The dark, cleaning his room,
eating all of his meals.
In fact, even though he was so small,
the name was perfect for him.
I mean, technically,
or as preschool kids everywhere say, actually,
he should be titled Monarch Butterfly.
But the writer of this tune
felt that King would work better.
Now one day he met up with
Little Whale.
Why on earth would anyone
call a whale little?
Well, his beloved mother
whale gave him that name
because she said,
You will always be my baby, little whale.
He was the youngest of four whales,
so the nickname just stuck.
