Hank Thompson - Then I'll Start Believing in You lyrics

Tell me how the cow jumped over the moon How the little lady lived in a shoe How Jack on the beanstalk climbed to the sky Then I'll start believing in you Tell me how Jack Horner got a plumb from his thumb And how Humpty Dumpty fell I'm a lot more able to believe in a fable Than all the other stories you tell You said your diamond ring was just an innocent little thing That you got it at a Stanley party Stanley must be quite a guy and his parties sure run high The price tag read one thousand and forty Tell me Cinderella did you get your fella Just by losing your shoe When I've got the time to believe in nursery rhymes Then I'll start believing in you There are stories galore in fairy tale lore Like the farmer who lived in the dell There's the owl and p**y cat know the one about Jack Sprat That I'm much rather hear you tell There's the turtle and the hare the preacher and the bear And the one about the little boy blue I can do no worse than nursery rhyme verse Then I'll start believing in you You tipsied in the other day said you'd been to the PTA Had your swimsuit and an olive you were eating Now they don't wear bikinis or hand out martinis Down at the school house meetings Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie Just any old fairy tale will do When I believe there's truth in old mother goose Then I'll start believing in you When I believe there's truth in old mother goose Then I'll start believing in you
