Intro: Oh, lend me your ears and a pint full of cheer, For the tale of a man who stumbled quite near. A legend of folly, both reckless and grim, The rise and the ruin of Marmalade Grimm. Verse 1: He came from a village where shadows would play, A man of no morals, yet bold in his sway. With promises sweet as the jam on your bread, He fooled the whole town with the schemes in his head. Pre-Chorus: They cheered as he smiled, they clapped as he lied, For Marmalade’s charm was a turbulent tide. Chorus: Oh, Marmalade Grimm, the man with no plan, He stumbled through power with jars in his hand. His folly was grand, his wisdom was thin, But still they applauded for Marmalade Grimm. Verse 2: He strutted to court with his crooked cane, Declared, “I’ll fix everything—just don’t ask for a plan!” With crayons and riddles, he scribbled the laws, Blaming his mishaps on mythical flaws. Bridge: Oh, jellybean holidays! Oh, squares for your hair! He ruled with no reason, just chaos to spare. His speeches were riddles, his memos were jokes, But somehow the laughter drowned all the folks' croaks. Chorus: Oh, Marmalade Grimm, the man with no plan, He stumbled through power with jars in his hand. His folly was grand, his wisdom was thin, But still they applauded for Marmalade Grimm. Verse 3: But power grew heavy, the crown tipped askew, The people grew weary of jam-covered rue. The courts raised their gavel, his reign came to halt, For even the pigeons proclaimed it his fault. Pre-Chorus: The crowds turned to jeers, the laughter ran dry, As Marmalade waved them a wistful goodbye. Chorus: Oh, Marmalade Grimm, the man with no plan, He stumbled through power with jars in his hand. His folly was grand, his wisdom was thin, But no one applauded for Marmalade Grimm. Outro: Now he wanders the lanes with his marmalade jars, Telling tall tales at the dirtiest bars. “Oh, lend me your ear, and I’ll show you the way!” But the squirrels just nod as they scamper away. Final Chorus (soft): Oh, Marmalade Grimm, the man with no plan, He stumbled through power with jars in his hand. A cautionary tale, a whimsical hymn, The rise and the ruin of Marmalade Grimm.
