There Once Was a Man

Lyrics

[BABE, spoken] Tell me! [SID, spoken] I love you more than all the heroes in all the history books in the world [BABE, spoken] Tell me! [SID, spoken] What a woman! I'll tell ya [SID] There once was a man who loved a woman She was the one he slew a dragon for They say that nobody ever loved as much as he But me, I love you more [BABE, spoken] Tell me! [SID] And there once was a man who loved a woman She was the one he gave his kingdom for They say that nobody ever loved as much as he But me, I love you more My love is a giant, fierce and defiant But how can I prove it to you? Ain't got no kingdom nor dragon To back up my braggin' How can I show what I would do? I only know there once was a man who loved a woman She was the one he ate that apple for They say that nobody ever loved as much as he But me, I love you more [SID, spoken] Tell me! [BABE] There once was a woman who loved a man He was the one that she took poison for They say that nobody ever loved as much as she But me, I love you more There once was a woman who loved a man He was the one she swam the channel for They say that nobody ever loved as much as she But me, I love you more My love's meteoric, it's merely historic A whirlwind, a cyclone on wheels It rocks my whole solar plexus It's bigger'n Texas I just can't tell you how it feels I only know there once was a woman who loved a man Loved him enough to cause the Trojan War They say that nobody ever loved as much as she But me, I love you more, more, more, more! [SID] More than a hangman loves his rope [BABE] More than a dope fiend loves his dope [SID] More than an Injun loves his scalps [BABE] More than a yodeler loves his Alps [SID] More! [BABE] More! [SID] More! [BABE] More! [SID] More! [BABE] More! [SID] More! [BABE] More! [SID] There once was a man [BABE] There once was a woman [SID] Who loved a woman [BABE] Who loved a man [SID] She was the one he slew the dragon for [BABE] He was the one that she took poison for [SID & BABE] They say that nobody ever loved as much as he / she But me, I love you more! But me, I love you more!
