Aesop Fable Songs
An Aesop Adventure
Chorus
Come one, come all, come young and old,
And listen to these fables told.
The stories here that we present
each have a lesson they represent.
So join us now and you will be on an Aesop Adventure, you’ll see.
A fable is a story with animals it’s told,
Who each confront a problem, a conflict they unfold.
The moral is the lesson learned, a universal truth,
To serve us through a lifetime when we are in our youth!
Chorus
(Repeat chorus)
He Didn’t Want it Anyway
Chorus
Hey! Hey! What daya say?
He didn’t want it anyway.
He couldn’t get it, by the way.
He didn’t want it anyway.
Hey! Hey! What daya say?
He didn’t want it anyway.
He couldn’t get it, by the way.
He didn’t want it anyway.
It was too hard, and he gave up!
The same excuse was his back-up.
So with his nose held in the air,
He walked away without a care!
Chorus
If you try ‘til you succeed,
Just by your efforts, you’ll take the lead.
So keep on working and don’t give in!
That attitude will help you win!
Hey! Hey! What daya say?
You oughta work hard ev’ry day!
Giving up is not okay!

You oughta work hard ev’ry day!
Giving up is not okay!
You oughta work hard ev’ry day!
You oughta work hard ev’ry day!

Nobody Believes a Liar
Chorus
Nobody believes a liar,
Even when he’s telling the truth!
Nobody believes a liar,
Learn this lesson while you’re in your youth!
To be honest is good manners
But lies are so uncouth.
Nobody believes a liar,
Even when he tells the truth!
If you want someone to trust you
Then you must do your part.
Make a point in being honest
For lying isn’t smart!
Chorus
Be truthful to your neighbors
So they can count on you.
To tell a lie for nothing is not the thing to do!
Chorus
One Step at a Time
Chorus
Just take one step at a time.
Slow and steady wins the race.
Just take one step at a time.
Rushing through just brings disgrace.
The hare was really faster, but fooled a round too much.
He ended with disaster and lost it in the clutch!
The tortoise on the other hand, kept trudging slowly on.
Always sticking to his plan until the race was won!
Chorus
Listen to this message; you’ll know that it is true.
Don’t be in such a hurry. That’s not the thing to do.
Take your time to get it right and make each task complete.
Then when you look back you’ll find that you cannot be beat!
Chorus
Shame on you! Shame on you!
Simple Pleasures
Chorus
Simple pleasures are the best.
Simple pleasures are the best.
Consider all with which you’re blessed.
Simple pleasures are the best.
The sun that begins each day.
A kind, thoughtful word to say.
A happy heart leads to success.
Simple pleasures are the best.
Chorus
Keep it simple, that’s the key.
A better life; you will agree.
Be thankful for all you possess.
Simple pleasures are the best.
Simple pleasures are the best.
Simple pleasures are the best.
Consider all with which you’re blessed.
Simple pleasures are the best.
Consider all with which you’re blessed.
Simple pleasures are the best.
Try and Try Again
If at first you don’t succeed,try and try again.
Quitters never take the lead, try and try again.
Giving up is not the way.
Rome was not built in a day.
Keep on striving, don’t delay and try again.
If you want to do it right, try and try again.
When you stumble, don’t take flight.
Try and try again.
To each effort give your all.
Be prepared for ev’ry call.
Put your back against the wall and try again.
Take the “can’t” right off your list.
Try and try again.
Solve that problem you resist.
Try and try again.
And approach each task with zest.
See how far you will progress.
Give it nothing but your best and try again
Give it nothing but your best and try again!
Try again!
