With fresh eyes, a fresh new view
Forget what you know
Forget what you knew
You'll learn a tale you'll beg to hear
Of a man who loved his dear
And something else too
The Button Buccaneer
He sailed the seas and sang of sins
Like taking candy from some twins
But more than those
He'd steal and sing of buttons
Small, square, shaped like a chair
Big, round, ones that make sound
As long as it fastened
He found it fascinating
He stopped a ship that held the Queen
Sneering and jeering so obscene
He came for the clasps
She should have thought him so mean
Taking buttons oh so pleasant
He saw a so lovely servant
And her rhinestone squares
She gave one as a present
He meant to take her with him, though
Once he grabbed her, "Let me go"
She asked so nicely
Buttons never responded so
Felt bad, he stormed off so sad
Shoved off, the Queen simply scoffed
Calling him a mouse
But she held her blouse
Now her button's on his arm
He prays he never caused her harm
Wants to meet again
Once again with a tad more charm
He'd remove it from his sleeve
If she'd take it and believe
"I'm so so sorry.
Will you come with me when I leave?"
He'd never find her and never quit
But he has what he wanted to get
Buttons and buttons
In buckets, buckets, and buckets
