Tell us a story, Billy
I'll get another big log for the fire
Tell us a story, Billy
With tricks and spells and mad desire
I know you got a story to make our laughter roar
Doesn't matter that we've heard that tale a hundred times or more!
Tell us a story, sweet William
A great long story
Tell us a story, Rachel
Of the man tied to the mast
Tell us a story, Rachel
How the sirens sang in vain as his ship passed
Remember that old shepherd who saved a royal babe
That babe became a man and his own father slayed
Tell us a story, Rachel
A great long story
That bitter wind keeps howling outside our creaking door
But our roof is snug and tight and we have enough in store
And even if soon this old world is giving up the ghost
Well, I don't mind 'cause I'm right here with the ones I love the most
Tell us a story, one more
A great long story
