Lyrics

Mount Vernon And Fairway

Theme

There was a mansion on a hill
But deep in a secret kingdom
Where a young prince lived
He had four sisters and four brothers

The prince had a special bedroom on the ground floor
With a window that looked down into a deep deep forest
He could see distant lights from other castles in the kingdom
From his window

During the day
He went to school
When it became night
He stayed by himself
Usually in his secret hidden bedroom

One night
While nearly everyone was asleep
He took out of the attic a radio
And he decided to listen to it

I'm The Pied Piper - Instrumental

As soon as he turned it on
The wind outside of his room
Stirred up for a few seconds

He thought to himself
"I'll climb out my window
And go sit out there with my radio"

Out the window he went
Sitting against a small stump
Behind some flowerbeds

The light from his bedroom window he could still see
The music of Bach was playing

After a while it began to sound distant
As the young prince gazed at this radio on his knee
The music was floating away from his hearing

What could be happening
He took it off of his knee
And put the radio to his ear
Nothing happened

Then the transistor left his hands
And was floating in the mid-air
Two feet off the ground

As the prince laughed
It suddenly turned around
And it was light green phosphourous in color

Dancing back and forth
The magic transistor
Started moving down his path

He could hear the sound out
Like nothing he had ever heard before

The trees were getting closer together
And flowers glowed with tinges of magic light
As he followed thinking to himself
"What's going on?"

The transistor lifted slowly
Up to the top of a little tree
And sat there
While it slowly became louder
To where the prince could hear it clearly

Fireflies shot across the path in front of the prince
He turned around and couldn't see the light from his window
There he was watching all alone all by himself
He got a hunch to get back to his room
And he turned and ran right back

Better Get Back In Bed

(Pied Piper)
(I'd better get back in bed)
(Hope I'll see you again)

(Pied Piper)
(I'll be running along)

Thirty seconds after he was in bed
He fell back to sleep

The next morning
He had forgotten all about
What had happened the night before

But when night time came once again
His thoughts somehow found their way back
To remembering the fascinating episode of the night before

He he turned out his bedroom light
And sat in his favorite chair
Thoughts danced in his head for a while
"Suppose I went to check and see if my transistor is still down there" he said "I wonder what would happen"

Magic Transistor Radio

He sat up in his open window
Looking quietly down at the path
A firefly flew in his room and flew right out again

Down jumped the prince
And he went again to find his radio

(Magic transistor radio)
(Glowing magic transistor radio)
(Glowing magic transistor radio)
As he made his way he could hear something once again
(Glowing magic transistor radio)
There was that transistor up on the same tree

Then from inside of it came a strange voice

I'm The Pied Piper

[Hello I'm the Pied Piper from the far away land of Night]
[Nobody knows anything about my existence]
[I only want to know kids]
[Late at night when people are sleeping]
[I go into their old radios and turn them into magic transistors]
[And fly outside with them]
[I come from such a far away land of Night]
[That I'm fascinated with the funny music I hear on your radios]
[You are the first to know of me]
[You can't see me I'm hidden]
[But you can see the green glow I make]
[I heard you laugh last night]
[I figured that you would be amused by me]
[Listen to this]

(Bow bow)
(I'm the Pied Piper)
(Bow bow bow bow bow)
(In the radio)

Then the prince heard something he never knew could be

(Bow bow)
(I'm the Pied Piper)
(Bow bow bow bow bow)
(In the radio)

The hidden Pied Piper was laughing

(Bow bow)
(I'm the Pied Piper)
(Bow bow bow bow bow)
(In the radio)

As the prince moved his head back and forth with the music going on

(Bow bow)
(I'm the Pied Piper)
(Bow bow bow bow bow)
(In the radio)

When the music died down the Piper said that "every night

(Bow bow)
(I'm the Pied Piper)
(Bow bow bow bow bow)
(In the radio)

After midnight if you leave your on your transistor radio

(Bow bow)
(I'm the Pied Piper)
(Bow bow bow bow bow)
(In the radio)

I'll promise to bring more magic music to you

(Bow bow)
(I'm the Pied Piper)
(Bow bow bow bow bow)
(In the radio)

No one" he said " will ever believe you so why tell of me to anyone?

(Bow bow)
(I'm the Pied Piper)
(Bow bow bow bow bow)
(In the radio)

You are my only friend of night" said the Pied Piper "and I'll talk to
you again some night"

(Bow bow)
(I'm the Pied Piper)
(Bow bow bow bow bow)
(In the radio)

Then the radio was glowing no more
As it fell into the hands of the fascinated prince
He ran back amazed and he hopped right back into bed

That night he dreamt all night
Mostly about his radio and his friend the Pied Piper

The prince did try what the Piper said to do
But for weeks at night
He heard nothing like the music of that magic night

"That Pied Piper must have been joking" he said
"There's nothing but Bach on this radio
I'm gonna throw it back up in the attic for good"
This he sat disbelieving the young prince so loud
That two of his brothers overheard him
The next day those two brothers took the radio from the attic and turned it on
(Dom dom kingdom)
There it was the music had to be from the Pied Piper himself
(My radio is radiatin' through the)
(Dom dom kingdom)
(Through the misty night)
(Through the misty night)

(Dom dom kingdom)
(My radio is radiatin' through the)
(Dom dom kingdom)
(Through the misty night)
(Through the misty night)

(Dom dom kingdom)
The prince's sisters ran in their brother's room
(My radio is radiatin' through the)
(Dom dom kingdom)
And they were all dancing and screaming with joy
(Through the misty night)
(Through the misty night)
But the transistor was playing too loud

And their mother heard it
(Dom dom kingdom)
"What are you doing there? What is that you're listening too?
Give me that radio at once" she said

Radio King Dom

A few days later the king and queen of the castle were invited to a ball
As they were leaving that evening the queen said to the young prince
Who was the eldest of the children
"Take care of the other ones tonight
And don't try to find that radio
We have it hidden away
We'll be home by midnight"
And then she said "goodbye"

The children's mother left
And the party had begun
And the children looked everywhere
High and low
Checking to see if they could find that transistor radio
They couldn't find it they couldn't find it
They looked upstairs and downstairs
All through the castle and finally
All of a sudden they heard a sound

What is that sound is it possible
Could it be the Pied Piper himself
Coming out of the magic transistor radio
Or was it just the wind whistling by the castle window

No one knows if the mysterious Pied Piper of Night
Was the one who came back to visit the princes and princesses again
But if you have a transistor radio and the lights are all out some night
Don't be very surprised if it turns to light green
And the whirling magic sound of the Pied Piper comes to visit you

(Bow bow)
(I'm the Pied Piper)
(Bow bow bow bow bow)
(In the radio)
