UP GOES THE CASTLE


A king and a queen once lived in a castle
On top of your stomach that castle was found
And when you breathed in, they lived high on a mountain
But when you breathed out, they lived low on the ground

Yes, you breathe in, up goes the castle
You breathe out, the castle goes down
Breathe in, high on a mountain top
Breathe out, low in the town

Well the queen said to you, “Boy it’s great up that mountain”
“Alright, Queen,” you said, “I’ll breathe in just for you.”
“Oh, no,” cried the king, “Up so high makes me dizzy!”
“Alright king,” you said, “breathing out’s easy, too.”

And you breathe in, up goes the castle
You breathe out, the castle goes down
Breathe in, high on a mountain top
Breathe out, low in the town

“I’m so bored,” said the queen, “It’s so flat in this valley.”
“Who cares,” said the king, “That old mountain’s too high”
“Don’t breathe in,” said the king. “Don’t breathe out,” the queen ordered.
“I have to,” you said, “I can’t stop if I tried.

And you breathe in, up goes the castle
You breathe out, the castle goes down
Breathe in, high on a mountain top
Breathe out, low in the town

“If you both have to argue,” you said to them nicely
“Just find a new stomach, and please get off mine.”
Well, the king and the queen stopped and thought for a moment,
And decided that both high and low were just fine

Oh, you breathe in, up goes the castle
You breathe out, the castle goes down
Breathe in, high on a mountain top
Breathe out, low in the town
