Lyrics There Once Was a Man - Harry Connick, Jr.

BABE: Tell Me!
SID: I love you more than all the heros in all th history books!
BABE: Tell Me!
SID: What a woman! I'll tell ya!
There once was a man who loved a woman
She was the one he slew a dragon for
They say that nobody ever loved as much as he-ee
But me-ee
I love you more.
BABE: Tell me!
And there once was a man who loved a woman
She was the one he gave his kingdom for
They say that nobody ever loved as much as he-ee
But me-ee
I love you more
My love is a giant, fierce and defiant
But how can I prove it to you?
Ain't got no kingdom or dragon
To back up my braggin'
How can I show what I would do?
I only know there once was a man
Who loved a woman
She was the one he ate the apple for
They say that nobody ever loved as much as he-ee
But me-ee,
I love you more
BABE: There once was a woman who loved a man
He was the one that she took poison for
They say that nobody ever loved as much as she-ee
But me-ee,
I love you more
SID: UM! Tell Me!
And there once was a woman who loved a man,
He was the one she swam the channel for
They say that nobody ever loved as much as she-ee
But me-ee,
I love you more.
My love's meteoric, it's merely historic
A whirlwind, a cyclone on wheels
It rocks my whole solar plexus, It's bigger than Texas
I just can't tell you how it feels
I only know there once was a woman
Who loved a man
Loved him enough to cause the Trojan War
They say that nobody ever loved as much as she-ee
But me-ee,
I love you more! more! more! more!
SID: More than a hangman loves his rope
BABE: More than a dopefiend loves his dope
SID: More than an Injun loves his scalps
BABE: More than a yodeler loves his alps
More, More, More, More, More!
SID: There once was a man who loved a woman
BABE: there once was a woman who loved a man
SID: She was the one he slew the dragon for
BABE: He was the one that she took poison for
SID // BABE: They say that nobody ever loved as much as he-ee // she-ee
BOTH: But me-ee, I love you more!
But me-ee-ee-ee-ee! I love you more!
