Wake up, wake up
It's time to get up
The sun is shining
Now's the day we've all been waiting for
Hurry, hurry
Don't be lazy
Stop your dreaming
Here's a dream come true that you can keep for evermore
Get ready
Get ready
Get ready now
Bats and badgers
Gnats and gadflies
Waterboat men
Wake up for the greatest day of all
Ants and dormice
Open your eyes
Mobilize now
Get yourselves together for the feast and for the ball
Get ready
Get ready
Get ready now
. . .

Saffron Dormouse:
Pots and pans all spick and span
Hanging there in a tidy row
Careful Tom don't scuff up the floor
Please don't make me scrub it again today
We're on our way to the ball
Lizzy Bee:
All day long I'm working like a slave
But you'll never hear me complain
In the sunshine or the rain
Saffron Dormouse:
I've been asleep all winter
And now the spring is here
It's time for you to hear my song
Lizzy Bee:
(Hope it's not too long)
Saffron Dormouse:
Every room is clean and bright
Now we'd better be on our way
Tom make sure you've got everything
Lock the door and give me the key
Let's go to see the show at the ball
Lizzy Bee:
Back to work tomorrow, but tonight
Going to eat and dance 'till I fall
At the feast and at the ball
. . .

I'm harlequin hare
I haven't got a care
I'm going to the ball
Bang on your drum
Tell everyone come
Come all
And part of my style
Is making you all smile
There's Nathaniel Gnat
In his cavalier hat
And a twinkle in his eye
By the light of the moon
The ladies all swoon
And sigh
And part of his style
Is making them all smile
Grasshopper goes
Wherever his nose
Will tell him to go
Fancy and free
And letting his fee-
Lings show
And oh what a sight
He'll be at the ball tonight
. . .

Old Blind Mole
It's home sweet home down in his hole
Old Blind Mole
He don't need me or you
Old Blind Mole
He don't need gasoline or coal
Old Blind Mole
He don't need me or you
Self contained
Always been the same
Obeys no rule
Nobody's fool (he's so cool)
Old Blind Mole
He never robbed and he never stole
Old Blind Mole
He don't need me or you

Don't start complaining now
The damage is done and you know how
Don't make a fuss you're not so bad
If you don't want to look so sad
Don't drink the water
It's bad for you
Don't drink the water
It's sad for you can't drink it anymore
I don't mind if you don't care
About your house or what you wear
But these times affect us all
Whether you hop or fly or crawl
Don't drink the water
It's bad for you
Don't drink the water
It's sad for you can't drink it anymore
(No solution)
There's a way to make it clean
It doesn't have to be a dream
What was once can be again
I know how but I don't know when
Don't drink the water
It's bad for you
Don't drink the water
It's sad for you can't drink it anymore
(No solution)

Behind the smile the stranger lies,
Beware of what is in his eyes.
Looks like fun but he's after you,
It's not so funny what that smile can do...
Behind the smile there lies a face
Filled with cunning, but he's full of grace.
Comes on friendly but is deadly too,
Beware or he'll take care of you...
An innocence so well rehearsed
And so naïve,
That's all you ever see.
Behind the smile you cannot see
Lies another full of mystery
Don't be fooled by that friendly grin
The jaws of death are going to call you in...
. . .

It's hard to tell you why
You'll have to wait and see
Your wings will grow
And then you'll know
The joy of being free
To float upon the air
And drift along the breeze
You'll greet a friend
Then rise again
So high above the trees
And I can show you how
But you'll have to make your own way
Patience now
Tomorrow you can fly away
Heartbreakers all
When you arrive at the Ball
Oh how you sway
You're going to steal hearts away
I know it's not so bad
For I was once like you
Enjoy yourself
There's nothing else
That you can say or do
And most of all be calm
Be beautiful and shy
Your time will come
And like the sun
You'll reach up to the sky
And I can show you how
But you'll have to make your own way
Patience now
Tomorrow you can fly away
. . .

Oh Aranea, you're so divine
It's hard to take my eyes off you
You really shine
Oh Aranea, you seem so wise
And every time I look into
Your spider eyes
My hopeful heart just flies
Time is flying too,
So brush your hair and lace your shoe
You know the ball won't wait for you
Tonight
Oh Aranea, you're proud and tall
When you descend on silken threads
Down to the Ball
You'll look the best of all
. . .

I'm just passing time before the ball
Playing my guitar
I don't have to be where I don't want to be at all
Maybe I'll go far
Going nowhere
Sitting in a dream
Ah in a dream
Sitting in a landscape full of sighs
Dream away the day
Making up a tune about the blueness of the skies
This is where I'll stay
Going nowhere
Sitting in a dream
Ooh in a dream
Watching as a red and white balloon
Sails across my mind
In between the images that drift along my tune
Smile as they unwind
Going nowhere
Sitting in a dream
Ah in a dream
. . .

I'm waiting here for something good to come my way
And I've been waiting patiently all day
The sunshine begins to stretch across the sky
I'm just waiting, oh I am waiting
People that are restless, moving here and there
Somehow they seem to go nowhere
So I remain and watch the world go by
I'm just waiting, oh I am waiting
I don't know what I'm waiting for but that's all right
Every thing I need is in my sight
I'm free as every kingfisher should be
And I'm just waiting, oh I am waiting
. . .

He sits in seclusion
Will take no intrusion into his world
They all bow their faces
From men in high places to the office girl
He's Sir Maximus Mouse
And he lives in a house bought with pieces of paper
If a deal's up for grabs
Or there's cash to be had he's the taker
He's facing a crisis
A drop in cheese prices force him to sell
Playing with other lives
He makes sure that he survives, they can go to Hell
He's Sir Maximus Mouse
And he lives in a house that he bought from the Devil
If they question his shares
Then his books will show they're on the level
With luxury living
His charity giving is a clever scheme
Enormous donations
Help public relations foster the dream
He's Sir Maximus Mouse
And he lives in a house that could pass for a palace
Like a fortress in which
Like a demon or witch he can vanish
. . .

I can't recall
If there's a ball
Should we be there?
It seems to me
We ought to be
With someone somewhere
Give us another
Oh pardon me, brother
For laughing
It's good to be back together again
The candle dims
My vision swims
Too much cheer
The feeling's good
But I know that I should
Be going from here
Give us another
Say, hey, brother
Where are you going without me?
I'm glad that we are together again
. . .

Watch out for the Bat now
Or that'll be that now
The price you will pay is dear
So don't be ashamed to fear
That is what makes you care
Makes you beware
Don't worry about it
You'll find you're without it
The Bat's going to take your life
He's going to take your wife
The Bat's going to make you plead
Make you bleed
So make no mistake there
You'll end up as steak (rare)
Always be on your guard
For this life is hard
Death is a breath away
Every day
. . .

Everybody's got to live together
All the people got to understand
So love your neighbour like you love your brother
Come on and join the band
Well, all you need is love and understanding
Ring the bell and let the people know
We're so happy and we're celebrating
Come on and let your feelings show
'Cause love is all, well, love is all
Love is all, can't you hear the call
Know that love is all you need
Love is all you need at the Butterfly Ball
Ain't you happy that we're all together
At the ball in nature's countryside
And although we're wearing different faces
Nobody wants to hide
And love is all and all is love
And it's easy, yes, it's so easy
At the Butterfly Ball where love is all
And it's so easy
All you need is love and understanding
Hey, ring the bell and let the people know
We're so happy and we're celebrating
Let your feelings show
Love is all, yes, love is all
At the Butterfly Ball
Love is big, love is small
Love is free and love is all
At the Butterfly Ball
When your back's to the wall
When you're starting to fall
You've got something to lean on
Love is everything
It can make you sing
At the Butterfly Ball
Now love is all
I say love is all
Yes, love is all
At the Butterfly Ball

Now the ball is over
It's time to get back home
I need a star to guide me
I'm feeling so alone
Feeling so alone
Morning mustn't find me
Sleeping in the sun
Now the dawn is breaking
A new day just begun
New day just begun
Glow worm lighting
Darkness fighting
Guiding one and all
Homeward going
Moving flowing
Homeward from the ball
Wings are sadly folding
Here comes another day
Oh I'd like to stay forever
And dance the night away
Dance the night away
Glow worm lighting
Darkness fighting
Guiding one and all
Homeward going
Take me home
Moving flowing
Homeward from the ball
Homeward going
Moving flowing
Homeward from the ball
Homeward going
Take me home
Moving flowing
Take me home
Homeward from the ball
Homeward going
Moving flowing
Homeward from the ball
