==Lyrics==
Narrator:
There once was a time
In the long, long ago
When there was joy and laughter everywhere
When the flowers that grew
Blossomed all the year through
And the world was eternally fair
For there lived a maiden
So gentle was she
That all the world loved her tenderly
And life was then so pleasant
That joy was ever present
And the world grew more lovely each day
The flowers danced around her
They formed a wreath and crowned her
The Goddess of Eternal Spring
The Goddess of Eternal Spring
Pluto:
Fairest of maidens
I've chosen you to be queen of my kingdom
Below
Persephone:
No, no,
I will not go
No! 
(Screams)
Pluto:
(Laughs)
Imps:
(Cheering)
Pluto:
With this crown,
I make you queen of Hades
Hi de Hades
Imps:
(Chant verse)
Narrator:
The world above,
Grew sad and lonely,
Cold winter winds were blowing
And everywhere,
The woodland creatures
Were in despair and grieving
For their lovely goddess
Pluto:
Come, come my queen,
Dry the tears from your eyes
I give you this diamond,
Behold its size
What? 
You still are sad?
Your constant tears will drive me mad!
I'm willing to do anything you say,
If only you smile,
Be a little bit gay!
Tell me!
Tell me,
What can I do?
Persephone:
Please let me return to my world up above
Be gentle, be kind, and comply
For unless I return to my world up above
Each thing growing there will die
Pluto:
Very well,
I'll let you go
But!
You must promise to return
And spend half of every year
Down here
Well, what do you say?
Persephone:
I promise
Pluto:
To this you swear?
Persephone:
To this I swear
Both:
To this you/I swear
Narrator:
When this lovely goddess
Returned from below
There was a new day of happiness
There was spring in the air
And the world everywhere
Soon grew lovely and fair once again
The world that is happy
When she's up above
Is always sad
When she's down below
So now you know the reason
Why there's a winter season
Instead of eternal spring
Instead of eternal spring
