There Once Was A Man Songtext
von VeggieTales

And who are you?
You remember me
I am Melvin, that slightly odd wise man who shows up every once in a while to tell you things
Oh, yeah, what is it?
I′ve come to tell you a little story

There once was a man, a very rich man
He had a lot of sheep, he had a lot of lamb
He threw a lot of parties
He was dapper, He was tan
Yes, there once was a very rich man

Okay, great story! I'll uh, see you next time
Wait just a minute!
My story isn′t done
It's about two men and I've only mentioned one
Oh


There once was a man, a very poor man
He had next to nothing, just a little lamb
But he loved it like a son and he fed it from his hand
Yes there once was a very poor man

Then one day, there was a guest at the house of the rich man
What did he do?
Have you guessed?
To feed the guest of the rich man

Well, let′s see
He had plenty of sheep
So he could just share one of his sheep
Not a problem!

He took the lamb of the poor man
He took the lamb of the poor man
The rich man took to feed his guest, the very, very, poor man′s lamb

Is this a true story?
As truly as I stand before you today, my story is true
Who is that man?
For his cruelty he will spend the rest of his days locked in my dungeon!
Who is he?
Oh King George, you are that man
