Nobody pulls my strings

And I can equal any man

In all the grown-up things

Giant:

Wooaarrgh!

Hero:

Yes I was made of mischief

They tell me I must learn

But nothing is coincidence

Whichever way I turn

And I will do or die

For I know one thing after all

The bigger any giant comes

The harder he may fall

My Hero!

He saved me

My hero-my-hero-my-hero-my-hero-my-hero!

All together we dance and play

We're bright and gay - a loud Hooray!

All together we greet the day

All:

Colossus is no more!

All together we celebrate

The very hills reverberate

To the heavens we elevate

The Hero we adore

Ladies:

All of a sudden the world is right

The sun is up and shining bright

All of a sudden the birds can sing

And Spring is at the door...

King and Princess:

All together in harmony

A chorus ring, a symphony

All together the Angels sing

The Giant is no more!!
