In the Kingdom of Aigburth, in the days of olde,
An epic tale was about to unfold.
When to the King and Queen a babe t'was born,
They threw a great party on the palace lawn!
They invited the world but forgot just one,
And that's when their nightmare had truly begun.
The forgotten fairy was dementedly miffed,
And roared his wrath as he delivered his gift!
"On her eighteenth birthday she'd prick her finger!
Fade away and no longer linger!"
It's shocking! It's rocking! It's incredibly cool!
But for this baby shower bring a cagoule!
Slip on your spandex, shake ya booty,
And help change the fate of Sleeping Beauty!!
