There was a Amblack swan outside the palace
It was appointed by the Gking
And people Ftook it as a sign that he needed more time
But you Gsaid, "I ain't afraid of no Amblack bird"

There was a Amrumor of a ghost in the bedroom
Hanging in and around the Gbed
But by the Ftime the moon rose, you had taken off your clothes
And had the Gpillow under your Amhead
[Chorus 1]
AmOh oh Goh Foh Goh Amoh...
[Verse 3]
There was the Amface you saw above you
In the Amfever of a hot black dream
But it was made out of paper and Fglue
And you were Ghoping for something a Flittle more realistic
You were Ghoping for the head of the Amqueen
[Chorus 1]
AmOh oh Goh Foh Goh Amoh...
