[00:00.000] 作曲 : John Mondelli
[00:25.12]In a kingdom high upon a hill
[00:27.89]In a land of long ago
[00:30.68]Sat a woeful king, waiting for the sting
[00:33.66]Of death’s impending blow
[00:36.30]For a clockwork dragon to the west
[00:39.21]Burned a village all away
[00:42.01]Breathing fire and steam, it had now been seen
[00:45.01]Heading in the kingdom’s way!
[00:47.88]Protective of his subjects, this king issued a decree
[00:53.43]He stood before his kingdom and cried, “This is what we need:”
[00:59.15]Men of valor who will fight the dragon to the death
[01:04.87]Warriors to go extinguish fierce and fiery breath
[01:10.36]Selfless knights to fight the battle, man against machine
[01:16.00]Heroes who will give their lives for king and queen!
[01:21.82]The dragon got the King’s best men
[01:24.34]They were no match for the beast
[01:27.25]To the fire they’d run, and yet one by one
[01:30.18]Every knight wound up deceased
[01:32.91]Now a wee young girl named Valerie
[01:35.69]With an artificial heart
[01:38.52]To the king did speak and though small and meek
[01:41.30]She was kind and she was smart
[01:44.28]She asked the king, “Why don’t we try approaching peacefully?”
[01:50.00]The king, he laughed and said, “Dear girl, I’ll tell you what we need!"
[01:55.58]Men of valor who will fight the dragon to the death
[02:01.26]Warriors to go extinguish fierce and fiery breath
[02:06.76]Selfless knights to fight the battle, man against machine
[02:12.44]Heroes who will give their lives for king and queen!
[02:18.16]But Valerie was strong of heart, and she knew what she must do
[02:29.46]Her clockwork heart was guiding her, and she had to follow through
[02:40.88]And so she traveled to the fields
[02:43.32]And she called the Dragon near
[02:46.28]As it flew on down, it could hear a sound
[02:49.07]Quite familiar to its ears
[02:52.17]The ticking of her clockwork heart
[02:54.80]Sounded so much like its own
[02:57.60]And the calming tick had reminded it
[03:00.48]Of its maker way back home
[03:03.42]The dragon bowed to Valerie to willingly concede
[03:09.06]The humbled king then proudly shouted “She’s the one we need!”
[03:14.84]We need Valerie to tame the dragon for us all
[03:20.46]Who’d have ever thought our hero would have been so small?
[03:26.04]She has soothed the savage beast, so sound your horn and drum!
[03:31.68]We shall sing her praises now for years to come!
[03:37.42]LONG LIVE, LONG LIVE VALERIE!
