16 - Going Home

Now, the ball was over
And most everybody gone
The king and queen were very tired
From dancing all night long
They had hopped and skipped and bounced
And they were ready for bed

Ah ah, the king was smitten
With his newfound friends
Ah ah, the queen was snoring
In her royal chair

"Good morning my friends
How did you sleep?
It’s time to get ready for your trip"
The king was standing
Next to the queen
Who was just positively glowing

"'Cause you are leaving us today
And though we wish that you could stay
We know that you must go home"

But come back soon
‘Cause it’s been a joy
To have you here in the land of Oygoy
Yes, come back soon
‘Cause it’s been a thrill
And you will always be welcome here"

So they promised
To return
In the summer when the school was over
And the Yok-Yok Man
Said goodbye
‘Cause he was staying there for a while

And though he wished that they could stay
They were going home today
But they’d all be back someday
Yes, they were going home today
And though he wished that they could stay
They would all be back someday
They would all be back someday
