albert was an einstein
billy was a kid
columbus was a sailor
they all knew what danny did
the emperor commanded
the fellaheen to leave their land
he built a city in the desert
fellows, it was grand
the streets were paved with silver
the jails were built of gold
the castle split the sky in two
where the world was bought and sold
a traveler approached the gate
with a tiger at his side
a mighty trumpet sounded
and the gate was opened wide
another traveler followed
carrying a book
the trumpet did not sound for him
but the earth shook
written in the traveler’s book
was the true name of the king
a raindrop fell upon the sand
and a bird began to sing
goliath was a giant
harry was a horse
sinbad was a sailor
the wind blew him off course
