Beginning, Middle And An End

This is the very beginning
This is the once upon a time
Somebody's starting something
These are the opening lines

"Seymour is waking up
He's wearing striped pajamas
He's jumping out of bed all smiles, he yells
'This is the beginning!' "

Yes every story has a beginning, middle and an end
And when it's over we can go back and tell it all again
Yes every story has a beginning annnnnnnd....

This is the middle of the story
Here's where we get to the meat
Somebody's up to something
We're on the edge of our seats

"Seymour looks out the window
He waves to Mrs. Fazzini
He catches a ride on a friendly pterodactyl
He shouts
'This must be the middle!' "

Yes every story has a beginning, middle and an end
And when it's over we can go back and tell it all again
Yes every story has a beginning, middle annnnnnnd....

This is the end of the story
This is the how it all worked out
Somebody winds up somewhere
This is the what it's all about

"Seymour flys way back in time
He goes in to visit with some cavemen
He runs a very successful frozen yoghurt stand
He says
'It's a happy ending!' "

Yes every story has a beginning, middle and an end
And when it's over we can go back and tell it all again
Yes every story has a beginning, middle annnnnnnd....
An end
