I’ll Start Believing In You Hank Thompson

Tell me how the cow jumped over the moon
How the little lady lived in a shoe
How Jack on the beanstalk climbed to the sky
Then I'll start believing in you

Tell me how Jack Horner got a plumb from his thumb
And how Humpty Dumpty fell
I’m a lot more able to believe in a fable
Than all the other stories you tell

You said your diamond ring was just an innocent little thing
That you got it at a Stanley party
Stanley must be quite a guy and his parties sure run high
The price tag read one thousand and forty

Tell me Cinderella did you get your fella
Just by losing your shoe
When I've got the time to believe in nursery rhymes
Then I'll start believing in you

There are stories galore in fairy tale lore
Like the farmer who lived in the dell
There’s the owl and pussy cat know the one about Jack Sprat
That I'm much rather hear you tell

There's the turtle and the hare the preacher and the bear
And the one about the little boy blue
I can do no worse than nursery rhyme verse
Then I'll start believing in you
