Once upon a time there were two fairies,
Now there are a great many!

Do you believe in fairies
And the stories that never grow old?
"There are fairies at the bottom of our garden",
That's a tale we've all been told!

Let's think of those childhood days,
Then go back to our baby ways,
And let's all be fairies,
Tinkle tinkle, crash crash crash!

All dance around and go crazy,
Waving a buttercup and daisy.
We'll go "whimsey whomsey",
On tiptoe we'll say "dash dash!".
Let's all be fairies,
Tinkle tinkle, crash crash crash!

Ding dong ding dong,
Fairy bells are gaily ringing.
Ding dong ding dong,
Everybody's gaily singing.
Dancing round the moonbeams, tra-la-la, la-la-la,
Hear our fairy footsteps, whoops, here we are!

Two great big burly boxers
Were engaged to appear in the ring.
Said the slosher to the slogger, " I won't hurt you
If you don't hurt me, old thing!
When we're in the ring tonight,
There's no reason why we should fight,
So let's both be fairies,
Tinkle tinkle, crash crash crash!".

"Don't get annoyed if I shove you,
You can't imagine how I love you!
We'll punch flimsy flamsy,
You go out when I say "dash".
Let's both be fairies,
Tinkle tinkle, crash crash crash!".

Ding dong ding dong,
Fairy bells are gaily ringing.
Ding dong ding dong,
Everybody's gaily singing.
Dancing round the moonbeams, tra-la-la, la-la-la,
Hear our fairy footsteps, whoops, here we are!
Whoops, here we are!

You have just heard "Let's All Be Fairies".
