I wish I could go back
To those fairy book tales
Forget the real world awhile
And seek the seas of the talkin' whales

A place of wishing wells and magic spells
A place of wishing wells and magic spells
Where everythin' starts out "once upon a time"
"Long, long ago" and ends "happily ever after"
Uh-huh, yeah-yeah

I could go up the hill and run with Jill
The giant could smell I'm no English man
Cinderella danced with me at the ball
I told the Queen of Hearts about my plan

I've traveled Wonderland with Alice
I met with Snow White in the woods
I flew with Peter Pan in Never, Neverland
Picked some berries with Ms. Red Riding Hood

I wish I could go back
To those fairy book tales
Forget the real world awhile
And seek the seas of the talkin' whales

A place of wishing wells and magic spells
A place of wishing wells and magic spells
Where everythin' starts out "once upon a time"
"Long, long ago" and ends "happily ever after"
Uh-huh, yeah-yeah

I could be an outlaw in the West
Save dancels in distress
We could sleep a hundred years

I could wake you up with a kiss
We'll swim the seven seas
We could make love more than twice
Fly like dragons in the skies

We could hang around on trees
Or buzz around like bees
We could make some honey
We don't need no money, baby

Just turn your back
You'll see jumpin' jelly beans sack
Just wait for me, Jack
I'll be back, I'll be back

I wish I could go back
To those fairy book tales
Forget the real world awhile
And seek the seas of the talkin' whales

A place of wishing wells and magic spells
A place of wishing wells and magic spells
Where everythin' starts out "once upon a time"
"Long, long ago" and ends "happily ever after"
Woh, yeah-yeah
