There once was a queen named Oona Cartoon
Who gazed at the moon over her lagoon.
"What a beautiful sight!
I'm going to swoon.
I want to touch that moon
And I want to touch it soon!"

So, Queen Cartoon
Ordered her brother and her platoons
To build a tower so high
It would reach to the moon.
"Use every box!
Use every chair!
Start the pile right here
And make it reach up to there!"

The queen's brother and platoons
Piled everything high.
It rose over the kingdom
And up into the sky.
The queen climbed up,
To be there soon,
But when she got to the top,
She could not touch the moon.
"Drat," she said,
"The moon is still above my head."

"Higher! Higher!" she yelled.
"Get me more stuff!"
But her servants didn't have enough.

"Don't give me excuses!
There's not far to go!
I know what will reach . . .
That big grand piano!"
"Come on now, just do it! We're burnin' moonlight!
I want to touch the moon,
And I want to touch it soon, all right?
Come on! Let's go!
Get me that piano!"

Well, the servants were loyal
And so they obeyed.
They pulled out that piano,
And the whole pile swayed.
The tower collapsed
With a Crash! Bang! Boom!
And that was the end
Of Oona Cartoon.
