Our kingdom



Tip toe tip toe
Let's play the game of chess
You'll be the queen and I the king
And the chess board will be our kingdom
Our offspring will be scattered all over the kingdom bearing the name ponies
And we will  be surrounded by bishops all day long
For such will handle all the prejudices that will defeat our Lil ponies and come to a conclusion that they'll now swallow us
I'll build you a castle on each and every corner of our kingdom
And you'll roam our kingdom riding the horses tied near each and every castle
 You will move any number of squares as you go on about our kingdom
And I on the other side I'll move on so longer no offspring of us nor any bishop stands on my way
For i watch my steps watching carefully not to tremble over the littles ones and my advisors
And as I move and you ride,
They will all sing hail the king and long live
