The Showy Lady’s Slipper

The showy lady’s slipper, prancing in the moonlight
The showy lady’s slipper, like a ballerina’s grace
The showy lady’s slipper, as tiny as a snowdrop
The showy lady’s slipper, so far, far abroad 
The showy lady’s slipper doesn’t belong in the bogs
The showy lady’s slipper, so tall and proud 
The showy lady’s slipper, the sweet tender queens
The showy lady’s slipper, made for fairies so fancy 
The showy lady’s slipper, where people stare in awe
The showy lady’s slipper, thank you for your remedies 
The showy lady’s slipper, your services will be needed no more
From these days to your extinction, we will protect you
We will never forget how you helped us live
Until our dying day we will give you life, for your beauty carries on
If you die, we will swear to always remember you, your beauty 
How you didn’t have to live in the bogs, or the densest of woods
We will always remember you
