There Once Was a Man - Alma Cogan

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

Tell me

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 or 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 the apple for

They say that nobody ever loved as much as he

But me, I love you more

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

And 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 than 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!

More than a hangman loves his rope

More than a dopefiend loves his dope

More than an Injun loves his scalps

More than a yodeler loves his alps

More More More more more!

There once was a man who loved a woman

There once was a woman who loved a man

She was the one he slew the dragon for

He was the one that she took poison for

They say that nobody ever loved as much as he she

But me, I love you more!

But me!

I love you more!
