Round and round and around we go
Round and round and around we go
Round and round and around we go

Cherryble tales are strange and tender
Each one is a trope transcended
Shake the rank and twist the gender

Jack is shaking hands with giants
Wizards practice rocket science

Spinning webs of golden fleeces
Used for conversation pieces

Make a bargain with Old Scratch
It will have no strings attached

Pirate lost girls undertaking
Sailing, Pillaging and baking
In a ship of their own making

Fallen down the rabbit hole
Slays the Prince and weds the troll

Enter Bluebeard's secret room
Filled with flowers in full bloom
Bluebeard's Dopey's nome de plume

Fractured tales of tears and laughter
The Cheerybles are daft and dafter
They live crazy ever after
Read the Brothers Cheeryble!
