Where Fairies Dwell

Out beyond the Jewelled sky

there, where only dreams can fly

Far beyond the Milky Way

where the rainbows go to play

is the land, where Fairies dwell

Here where fairy tales are born

where the sacred oath is sworn

To do only pleasant things

is how a fairy earns her wings

Here was born, the Fairy Nell

Nell was not like all the rest

she with mischief had been blessed

While others did what should be done

Nell would always look for fun

in the land, where Fairies dwell

It usually happened in the spring

when Flower Fairies did their thing

Little Nell would cause a frown

by planting tulips upside down

in the land, where Fairies dwell

Or when a baby tooth fell out

and no Tooth Fairy was about

Nell sneaked in, and with her thumb

shoved the tooth back in the gum

In the land, where Fairies dwell 

But most of all she loved to see

her friends upon a Christmas tree

That’s when she puts in double shifts

changing labels on the gifts

in the land, where Fairies dwell

One day the Queen said that’s enough

I’m sick and tired of all this stuff

And all the trouble that it brings

I’m confiscating Nelly’s wings

but this didn't bother Nell

For now across the land she roams

accompanied by Elves and Gnomes 

Taking pleasure from the nights

by playing trick with Imps and Sprites

upon the land where Fairies dwell
