          C                                            F                    G              C
When I was a young lass and I came to play I met a minotaur.
          C                                                 F                                   G                                   C
He smiled and he bowed and he spoke his name - t'was Bevourax and nothing more
       G                               C                G                                 C
He told me jokes in the early morn  -   and in the evening too
                                                              F                                        G                                C
But the only thing he said when he took his leave was "You'll see me before I see you!"
 

             C                             F                               G                            C
When next I came to the park to play, he was sitting there on a stump
      C                           F                               G                                C
A riddle or two and joke or three, and a smile to my face did jump
      G                            C                                  G                             C
I laughed - I cried - I damn near died   -   but I knew just what to do
                                                    F                                      G                      C
So I sat myself down and I smoothed out my gown and I told stories, too!
 

        C                             F                               G                 C
Now if you ever come out to play and you meet a minotaur
           C                          F                                          G                                   C
And when you ask, he tells you his name and its Bevourax and nothing more
         G                           C                        G                           C
Then sit you down and listen well, and let your heart go free!
                                                            F                                  G                              C
For he'll fill you full of tales and of riddles fine, and you'll part with a hug from he!
