[Intro] (spoken, counting on fingers) Bupu give pretty man... one pretty stone. One lizard. One big old book. That... two things. Maybe whole bunch. [Verse 1] Bupu had a greeney stone, shiny, smooth and bright. Kept it safe with special things, hidden out of sight. Pretty man was good to Bupu. Pretty man looked sick. So Bupu gave the stone to him. Good gift. Bupu pick. Then the lizard for his cough. Very strong cure too. Pretty man got lots from Bupu. That what friends should do. [Chorus] Bupu give pretty man things what Bupu own. Pretty stone and lizard cure, big old book from dragon home. Bupu give the best she got. Never count the cost. But pretty man give Bupu thing Bupu never had before. [Verse 2] Later Bupu find old book, dusty, thick and strange. Funny marks on every page. Words that twist and change. Bupu not know book worth much. Bupu not much care. Pretty man hold book so soft, like treasure hiding there. Stone was pretty. Lizard heal. Book make magic grow. Bupu know what Bupu give. But what him give? Bupu not know. [Chorus] Bupu give pretty man things what Bupu own. Pretty stone and lizard cure, big old book from dragon home. Bupu give the best she got. Never count the cost. But pretty man give Bupu thing Bupu never had before. [Spoken Break] No. Not coin. Not jewel. Not magic staff. Pretty man give... ... Bupu thinking. [Verse 3] Other folk look down at Bupu. Other folk go laugh. Other folk say “creature” when Bupu cross their path. Pretty man never laugh at Bupu. Never call her wrong. Pretty man bend down to Bupu. Listen when she talk. Him say: “Little one.” Just that. Nothing shiny. Nothing gold. Still Bupu keep those little words better than things she hold. [Bridge] Bupu give a pretty stone. Pretty man give name. Bupu give a healing cure. Pretty man give no shame. Bupu give a magic book. Pretty man give his trust. Bupu thought she brought him treasure. Maybe both of us. [Final Chorus] Bupu give pretty man things what Bupu own. Pretty stone and lizard cure, big old book from dragon home. Pretty man give Bupu back thing no sack can hide. Pretty man see Bupu Bulp... and not just thing beside. Bupu give the best she got. Pretty man did too. Bupu give him whole bunch things. Pretty man... gave Bupu Bupu. [Outro] (spoken, very softly) That best gift. ... Bupu keep that one.
