There Once Was a Man lyrics

[BABE, spoken]
Tell me!

[SID, spoken]
I love you more than all the heroes in all the history books in the world. 

[BABE, spoken]
Tell me!

[SID, spoken]
What a woman! I'll tell ya. 

(sung)
There once was a man who loved a woman
She was the one he slew a dragon for
They say that nobody ever loved as much as he
But me, I love you more

[BABE, spoken]
Tell me!

[SID]
And there once was a man who loved a woman
She was the one he gave his kingdom for
They say that nobody ever loved as much as he
But me, I love you more
My love is a giant, fierce and defiant
But how can I prove it to you?
Ain't got no kingdom nor dragon
To back up my braggin'
How can I show what I would do?

I only know there once was a man who loved a woman
She was the one he ate that apple for
They say that nobody ever loved as much as he
But me, I love you more

(spoken)
Tell me!

[BABE]
There once was a woman who loved a man
He was the one that she took poison for
They say that nobody ever loved as much as she
But me, I love you more

There once was a woman who loved a man
He was the one she swam the channel for
They say that nobody ever loved as much as she
But me, I love you more

My love's meteoric, it's merely historic
A whirlwind, a cyclone on wheels
It rocks my whole solar plexus
It's bigger'n Texas
I just can't tell you how it feels
I only know there once was a woman who loved a man
Loved him enough to cause the Trojan War
They say that nobody ever loved as much as she
But me, I love you more, more, more, more!

[SID]
More than a hangman loves his rope

[BABE]
More than a dope fiend loves his dope

[SID]
More than an Injun loves his scalps

[BABE]
More than a yodeler loves his Alps

[SID]
More!

[BABE]
More!

[SID]
More!
[BABE]
More!

[SID]
More!

[BABE]
More!

[SID]
More!

[BABE]
More!

[SID]
There once was a man

[BABE]
There once was a woman

[SID]
Who loved a woman

[BABE]
Who loved a man

[SID]
She was the one he slew the dragon for

[BABE]
He was the one that she took poison for

[SID & BABE]
They say that nobody ever loved as much as he / she
But me, I love you more!
But me, I love you more!
