Cookies in the Jar

lyrics by Danylo & Alexander Fedoryka

As I was going over the Cotton Candy Mountains
I met with Captain Farrell and his cookies he was countin'
I first produced me sling-shot and then me blue light-saber
Said: "Stand and deliver" for I am a scary pirate

I counted out his candy and it made a pretty penny
I put it in me pockets and brought it home to Mommy
She said and she swore that she never would deceive me
But she took me to the Dentist and he took away my candy

I went up to my bedroom all for to take a slumber
I dreamt of Tootsie Rolls and for sure it was no wonder
But Mommy cleaned my room and she found me stash of candy
And sent for Captain Farrell to be ready for the spanking

'Twas early in the morning as I rose up for travel
Out jumped a band of robbers and likewise Captain Farrell
I first produced my sling-shot for he stole my blue light saber
But I couldn't shoot the pebble so a prisoner I was taken

Now if anyone can save me its me brother in the tree-house
If he could find me candy I would give him half for payment
And when he comes to get me we’ll go get chocolate milk shakes
And I swear he’ll treat me better than that devil of a dentist
