Of The Wild Things
One night in my room a forest grew and grew and grew
Until the ceiling hung with vines and the walls became the world all around
Then the ocean tumbled by
All I could see was sky
I ran away took a boat that was built just for me
I sailed away across the sea
Through the days weeks months over a year
Far away from here
They said I was the wildest thing of all
Now stop
Though I'm the king of all the wild things
It's lonely I want to be where someone loves me best of all
Then from far across this world I smelled good things to eat
So I gave up being the king of the wild things
Of the wild things
And they said oh please don't go you know we love you
So we'll eat you up I said no
And they roared their terrible roars and they gnashed their terrible teeth
They rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws
But I just waved goodbye stepped back into my boat
Sailed back over a year and in and out of weeks and all through a day
Suddenly I was in my own room again where my supper was waiting for me
And it was still hot
Until the ceiling hung with vines and the walls became the world all around
Then the ocean tumbled by
All I could see was sky
I ran away took a boat that was built just for me
I sailed away across the sea
Through the days weeks months over a year
Far away from here
They said I was the wildest thing of all
Now stop
Though I'm the king of all the wild things
It's lonely I want to be where someone loves me best of all
Then from far across this world I smelled good things to eat
So I gave up being the king of the wild things
Of the wild things
And they said oh please don't go you know we love you
So we'll eat you up I said no
And they roared their terrible roars and they gnashed their terrible teeth
They rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws
But I just waved goodbye stepped back into my boat
Sailed back over a year and in and out of weeks and all through a day
Suddenly I was in my own room again where my supper was waiting for me
And it was still hot
