Lyrics
The Pickle Chiffon Pie Song (by Hobbie)
In the land of trees there was a lovely girl;
She was the daughter of the king of the world.
There were three Princes in the land each seeking of her hand;
One was brave, and one was smart, and the other one was Bernard.
The King said to them, "You each have three days,
To bring back a gift worthy of my daughter's praise.
And he who succeeds will get my daughter's hand,
And soon become the ruler of the land."
Pickle chiffon, pickle chiffon, pickle chiffon pie;
I know that you'll just love it so won't you give it a try?
Pickle chiffon, pickle chiffon, pickle chiffon pie;
I know that you'll just love it so won't you give it a try?
On the first day, the brave one did return,
And with him was a lion, the one that he had earned.
He had fought the lion, and with him he did bring,
because that very lion could juggle anything.
The lion juggled sticks of fire, swords, and heavy rocks.
He juggled a bed and sofa, and a pair of dirty socks.
But when he was done the Princess said it wasn't what she hoped;
She thought it was nice, said goodbye, and left the two to mope.
Pickle chiffon, pickle chiffon, pickle chiffon pie;
I know that you'll just love it so won't you give it a try?
Pickle chiffon, pickle chiffon, pickle chiffon pie;
I know that you'll just love it so won't you give it a try?
On the second day, the smart one he came back;
And with him was a giant, two pianos on his back.
With one hand on each keyboard, the giant played along;
Turning dull 'Chopsticks' into a beautful song.
The King he clapped his hands with glee and sang with the tune.
The Princess, on the other hand, she had left the room.
And so it was up to Bernard to win the royal hand,
But no one had seen him anywhere in the land.
Pickle chiffon, pickle chiffon, pickle chiffon pie;
I know that you'll just love it so won't you give it a try?
Pickle chiffon, pickle chiffon, pickle chiffon pie;
I know that you'll just love it so won't you give it a try?
Late in the third day, Bernard came shuffling in.
There were no lions or giants, just something in a tin.
Bernard said, "Before I show you this that I have here,
I have a story to tell, one not without a tear."
He told of how he returned a beast because it missed its Mom;
And how he had freed a bear because it longed for home;
"And all I have with me now is this pickle chiffon pie,
Made by some mice," he said, "who wanted to help me try."
The daughter of the King came down and gave Bernard a kiss.
She said that with a heart like his, true love she could not miss.
The King approved the marriage, not once did he cry;
Because his all-time-favorite food was pickle chiffon pie.
Pickle chiffon, pickle chiffon, pickle chiffon pie;
I know that you'll just love it so won't you give it a try?
Pickle chiffon, pickle chiffon, pickle chiffon pie;
I know that you'll just love it so won't you give it a try?
Pickle chiffon, pickle chiffon, pickle chiffon pie;
I know that you'll just love it so won't you give it a try?
Pickle chiffon, pickle chiffon, pickle chiffon pie;
I know that you'll just love it so won't you give it a try?
