I've always disliked the album version of this song. It felt like when I was a kid and just held a tape recorder up to the TV, the scene lifted straight out of the movie. So I took an instrumental version of the song and have created a more music-driven, less dialogue-laden version of the song while trying to maintain the integrity of the scene. Enjoy!

Lavenders blue, dilly, dilly
Lavenders green
If I were king, dilly, dilly
Id need a queen
Who told me so, dilly, dilly
Who told me so?
I told myself, dilly, dilly
I told me so
If your dilly, dilly heart
Feels a dilly, dilly way
And if youll answer yes
In a pretty little church
On a dilly, dilly day
Youll be wed in a dilly, dilly dress of
Lavender blue, dilly, dilly
Lavender green
Then Ill be king, dilly, dilly
And youll be my queen")
