His beard is greyed and his hands are cold
His crown is dented and his boots have grown bold
Ah, but he sings with a passionate voice made for a wren
It's the most beautiful song that a mortal can ever behold

Lie lie lie.. lie.. lie.. lie.. lie lie lie
Lie.. lie.. lie.. lie.. lie lie lie
Lie lie lie.. lie.. lie.. lie.. lie.. lie.. lie lie lie lie... lie lie lie lielie
