The Troll Song
(sing it like Rex Harrison)
(Lyrics by Jerome A. Holst, © 2007)

(Verse)	I wish I was a troll A roly-poly troll I'd sleep all day I'd eat all night I'd dance and prance in the pale moonlight

(Verse)	A troll A troll I'd love to be a troll No shoes to wear No cares to bear I'd laugh and play with the fairies fair Yes, I'd love to be Why what ecstacy Yes, I'd love to beeeeee a troll

(Bridge)	I wish I was a troll A roly-poly troll My nose would be big My tail would be long My pointy ears how they'd wiggle My eyes would glimmer My fur would shimmer The thought of it makes me giggle So Yes, Yes Yes I must confess confess There is nothing in this world, you see That I'd rather rather be Than a roly-poly, roly-poly Roly-poly trolly Yes, I'd love to be Why what ecstacy Yes, I'd love to beeeeee a troll

(Verse)	A troll A troll I'd love to be a troll What a lovely life What a shear delight I'd sing and shout til the morning light Oh the thought of it makes me tingle Like a visit from Old Chris Kringle Yes I love to be Why what ecstacy Yes, I'd love to beeeeee aaaahhh trollllllll aaaahhh trolllllll aaaahhh TROLLLLLLL

NOTE: So I was writing this children's book about a troll and I got so into the subject, that I was inspired to write this song. As I sang the song to myself, I began to sing like Rex Harrison of "My Fair Lady" fame. For some reason, his personality helped set the rhythm for the lyrics. And so another song was born on August 24, 2007.
