Chorus:
Once upon a time
Once upon a rhyme
Once upon a sunny day
Once upon a time
Once upon a rhyme
Happy little world at play

Verse 1:
It's waiting for you, watching for you
Gently calling your name
It's waiting for you, watching for you
Wishing you'll join in the games

(CHORUS)

Verse 2:
There's Willy the Worm, Bobby the Bee
And Freddy the Friendliest Flea
With Doodle the Dog, Candy the Cat
And all the sweet flowers and trees

(CHORUS)

Verse 3:
This treasure of joy for each girl and boy
Is fun and totally free
This world you will find lives in your mind
Just open your heart and you'll see

(CHORUS)

Once upon a time
Once upon a rhyme
Happy little world at play
