When the moon and the sun are light in the sky Something magical is bound to catch your eye It's a total eclipse, oh what a sight to see Let me tell you the story, come along with me Dancing shadows in the midday sun The total eclipse, oh so much fun From ancient legends to cultures, old and new A slur about this phenomenon is true Long long ago, the land's far away But people believed it was a sign, a special day The sun was devoured by a great dragon's jaw But it always returned shining brighter than before
