Priscilla and the Royal Baa Baa Show
Listen… that clip-clopping sound is Priscilla the Princess Pony, trotting through the twilight world of Moshi. And tonight, we’re going to hear all about the night she attended the famous Royal BaaBaa Show. So snuggle down, cosy up, and when you’re ready, close your eyes…
Dainty clip-clops
Dainty clip clops of a sweet princess
Dreaming, time to rest
Dainty clip-clops
Dainty clip-clops trotting through the night
Dreaming, we’ll sleep tight
Listen, can you hear that tip-tap horsey trotting sound?
It’s Priscilla’s dainty pony hooves, clip-clopping on the ground
Elegant and regal, she sashays to impress
But this evening she’s just strolling, for Priscilla’s a princess
She lifts her knees up to her chin with every step she takes
And points her nose towards the sky, wary of mistakes
See, Priscilla is rehearsing for the highlight of the season
The BaaBaa Show, where Moshlings go, for one particular reason…
… Not to be amazed or blown away by what they see
But to fall asleep by counting sheep, it’s dull as dull can be
The show goes on for endless hours, there’s really no variety
Yet, this bla-a-ah extravaganza is adored by high society
Dainty clip-clops
Dainty clip clops of a sweet princess
Dreaming, time to rest
Dainty clip-clops

Priscilla isn’t in the show, she has to sit and watch
From the luxury and comfort of the Royal Horsey Box
But the reason that she’s practising her prim and proper walking
Is because she has to meet the sheep and do a lot of talking
She meets them by the entrance, on a carpet plush and red
And chats about how great they are, and nods her pony head
Usually the sheep just baa, but Priscilla has to smile
And pose for the photographers with royal panache and style
This year’s show is being held within a massive tent
In terms of size, it’s probably the greatest sleep event
When Priscilla and her royal chums arrive, the crowds applaud
Though most of them now realise the BaaBaa Show is flawed…

See once upon a time, counting sheep was all the rage
But that was many moons ago, another time and age
These days it just doesn’t work, and most folks find it boring
And watching sheep for hours on end no longer leads to snoring
Moshlings in the audience just sit and gaze all night
But cos this show’s traditional they have to be polite
When actually they’d love to drift into a peaceful sleep
Instead of sitting, watching lots of dawdling, jumping sheep
Priscilla’s now inside the tent, it’s really quite amazing
For tonight the roof’s festooned with lights, for dreamy night time gazing
It’s kind of like a circus tent but plush and more luxurious
And every seat reclines way back, it’s snug, though rather curious

Priscilla clip-clops up the stairs just as the house lights dim
And trots into her hay-filled box, the show will soon begin
The stage is in the middle of a kind of circus ring
That’s carpeted with sawdust… you know the type of thing
The warm up act’s a Moshling, who sits and reads old news
Followed by a troupe of sloths who laze around and snooze
Next a tortoise ambles in, to further dull the senses
But all he does is take an hour to set up several fences
Finally the sheep arrive, and amble round and round
Taking turns to jump the fences, set up on a mound
This snoozefest is soooo tedious but fails to induce sleep
For every Moshling in the crowd is bored of counting sheep

Several hours later and Priscilla’s had enough
So she trots towards the exit in a rather royal huff
But the clip-clop sound her hooves make seems to grab the crowd’s attention
And coupled with the jumping sheep, it adds a fresh dimension
So Priscilla prances in the ring and trots around and around
And every Moshling in the crowd is smitten by the sound
In fact they start to snuggle up and some begin to doze
It seems Priscilla’s clip-clops add some depth to BaaBaa Shows!
The precision of her royal trotting proves to mesmerize
Causing those who’re listening to close their weary eyes
The sheep seem slightly baffled but continue their routine
It really is the most peculiar pony/sheepy scene

Priscilla trots around until the audience is slumbering
Except for one small Moshling in the front row who is mumbling
Priscilla trots towards him, and whispers, “Can’t you sleep?”
“I’d love to” says the Moshling, “But I’m worried for my sheep”
“You see, your Highness, I’m their handler, Jarvis is my name…
And I know your royal clippity-clops will muster great acclaim
See, counting sheep is not as trendy as it used to be
Most Moshlings find it boring, even older ones like me”
“Don’t worry” says Priscilla, “I’ve got a great idea…
Let’s fit your sheep with metal shoes, so audiences hear…
Their little hooves clip-clopping as they leap over each fence
That sound mixed with your visuals will make perfect sleepy sense”

Priscilla gets her blacksmith to create some sheepy shoes
Then gives them all to Jarvis, “These are sure to make folks snooze”
They try them out the next night at a smaller BaaBaa Show
And Moshlings soon agree that it’s the sleepiest place to go
The sheep go on big world tour, that proves a huge success
All thanks to dear Priscilla, the clip-clopping princess
Priscilla’s pleased she helped the sheep, and even makes some pledges
That next year’s Royal BaaBaa Show will see her jumping hedges
Her special guest appearance is sure to guarantee
That this will be a royal event her subjects want to see
Cos counting sheep can make you sleep, but all sheep do is baa
But adding in some clippity-clops is sleepier… by far
Goodnight…
