There once a lady of high pedigree,
A prettier queen no tom ever did see,
But there too was a thief of grave villainy,
And to steal her heart was his decree.

Oh the lady and thief, they danced in moonlight,
But the thief's wretched heart was filled with spite,
the lady's poor soul did recoil with fright,
and the thief disappeared like a bolt in the night.

The young lady lost her heart to him,
Over mornings bright and evenings dim,
And the lady who used to be proper and prim,
Was gallivanting with an established crim.

And the lady and thief, they danced in moonlight,
But the thief's wretched heart was filled with spite,
the lady's poor soul did recoil with fright,
and the thief disappeared like a bolt in the night.

He stole her away to his fiendish abode,
Where the wolves howled and the ravens crowed,
The thief and agents all followed a code,
And the lady was trapped, her tears flowed.

Oh the lady and thief, they danced in moonlight,
But the thief's wretched heart was filled with spite,
the lady's poor soul did recoil with fright,
and the thief disappeared like a bolt in the night.

Her love had turned bitter, and fearful, and tense,
And the walls of his warehouse were strong as a fence,
She bore him a kitten, kept up the pretence,
But her heart was injured, with scars and dents.

Oh the lady and thief, they danced in moonlight,
But the thief's wretched heart was filled with spite,
the lady's poor soul did recoil with fright,
and the thief disappeared like a bolt in the night.

But then came a tom, brother to the swine,
Who's heart was so set on the lady so fine,
And since she went missing, his heart it did pine,
Her beauty sent shivers up his silver spine.

Oh the lady and thief, they danced in moonlight,
But the thief's wretched heart was filled with spite,
the lady's poor soul did recoil with fright,
and the thief disappeared like a bolt in the night.

The tom and the thief, exchanged their blows,
Oh, the thief was so cruel, his heart had froze,
But the tom fought with love, from his tail to his nose,
And beat him- but how? Nobody knows.

Oh the lady and thief, they danced in moonlight,
But the thief's wretched heart was filled with spite,
the lady's poor soul did recoil with fright,
and the thief disappeared like a bolt in the night.

The tom took the queen to where she could belong,
Her beautiful kitten helped to right the wrong,
He found her protectors, courageous and strong.
He told her his love was so true and lifelong.

Oh the lady and thief, they danced in moonlight,
But the thief's wretched heart was filled with spite,
the lady's poor soul did recoil with fright,
and the thief disappeared like a bolt in the night.

The lady lived happily, while awake,
But in her dark dreams, her frail heart would break,
The thief, still took of all of her that he could take,
She knew he would come for her, for vengeance sake.
