"Once Upon A Time" - A Nursery Rhyme [Original Undertale Lyrics]

Another little tribute to a powerful little game. I was playing around with lyrics to this song, trying to sum up the prologue, but it's such a little melody and it was virtually impossible to cram all those words in without it sounding completely terrible.
And then I remembered my headcanon that the legend of Mt Ebott turned into a creepy children's nursery rhyme over the centuries and thought OOOOHHH. I SHOULD TRY THAT.
So I rewrote, going for more of a clapping-game vibe this time, and it worked SO much better and then I roped my awesome little sister into recording with me (she has her own channel where she likes to do UT lyrics of her own and her harmonies are gorgeous and you should check it out~ *shameless plug*) / @irishpixie2342
aaand...ta-daaa!
I hope y'all like it!

yeah, like in a sequel, it begins with the nursery rhyme, and then... PROLOUGE: Asriel: "And that's how the story of Frisk The Human and Chara The Ghost began. each chapter begins the same way, with this rhyme, children. but each one has a different end. in one, it's what happened. in the next, it's what if Frisk attacked only once? and the final chapter, is what if Frisk always attacked? keep in mind, this whole story is true. Frisk and Chara have the power of Determination. do you know what that is, children?" Frisk's adopted child: "Yeah! my parent's Frisk themself! they told me that determination means that when they die, they restart from when they were filled with determination! and the have the power to RESET. it allows them to start their journey over again!" Asriel: "Correct, little one! Frisk went through each chapter, defeating...me...me...and my dad..." Frisk's child: "Do any of you even know my name?" Asriel: "No, little one! after all, it's your first day!" Frisk's child: My name is Chris! Frisk said they combined their name with Chara's to make mine! Asriel: My parents did that too! everyone, say hi to Chris! Chris' classmates: Hi, Chris! one kid: ... Asriel: Little one, why aren't you saying hi to Chris? the kid turns away. Asriel: What's the problem, little one? OK: ... Asriel, trying to keep cool because a flower petal is starting to grow out of his hand: C'mon, little one! you can tell us anything! OK: I hate Chris. Asriel: Why? OK: They killed my dad and his brother. in the last chapter of the book. Asriel: Who's your dad? OK: ...sans... Chris: I know Sans! Frisk introduced me to him and his brother, Papyrus! what's your name? OK: ...Torians. Asriel, flustered: Your...name is what? Torians: Torians. Asriel: Like...like Sans + Toriel? Torians: yes. Asriel: that...uh...that means...you're my half-brother. Torians looks at Asriel. Torians: my brother is my teacher. huh. (ring, ring, ring!) Asriel: oop, that's the bell! time to go home!

Yet this peace came undone. War was waged and humans won. Forced below, Monsters fell. Humans trapped them with a spell. Listen, children, to my words: Ebott will eat you, beware the curse! Monster teeth go clack, clack, clack . . . If you climb the Mountain, *you won't come back!* Human child, human child, *won't turn around.* Human child, human child - oops, they fell down! Human child, human child, look out below . . . *down underground where the Monsters go.* Oops, dropped your heart . . . Be careful in the dark. Someone might take It, break it apart. Trouble on the left . . . Trouble on the right . . . Will you spare them, run, or fight? Oops, dropped your heart . . . *Be careful in the dark.* *Someone might take It, break it apart.* *Trouble* on the left . . . *Trouble* on the right . . . *Will you SPARE* them, *run, or FIGHT?*

Okay this is the best song in the entire fandom for a few reasons. A. The text setting places teh emphasis on the down beat and for the most part how you would pronounce words when speaking. B. They arent singing the melody, it's a rhyme that allows the music to exist as harmony while people sing along with it not to it. C. It's not amazing, like it's very flat but its also not meant to be, the entire purpose of this prologue is to establish the setting and tone. What better way to establish a setting and tone than with an easy to identify and remember nursery rhyme that implies both the far past and the simplicity of the music. It's a pretty well known fact that as the game progresses the music changes from 8bit to midi to an actual guitar which tells the complexity that is happening. The lyrics do the exact same and that's rare in this musical format of this game which is depressing.

Frisks gender is left open to interpretation meaning if someone sees frisk as a boy then frisk becomes a he, and if someone sees frisk as a girl then frisk becomes she. and should someone else see frisk as just frisk then frisk is frisk. let people call frisk what they feel frisk is to them personally, they are not trying to shove this thought down others throats, so why correct them. ?? If anything, why just ask that they call frisk, frisk. :P

[@lilithjones5860]

Man I think it would be cool if Frisk was dared by his friends to go up

[@Cazameilia]

The "Oops dropped your heart be careful in the dark" part could have a double meaning, literally because of Asgores law about humans and collecting the souls and the soul appearing as a heart which breaks if Frisk is killed, but also as a metaphorical "what you are in the dark"/ "he who fights monsters", kind of thing. Frisk doesn't start out evil (and even feels bad about hitting the training dummy at first), but their soul becomes increasingly corrupted and broken on genocide path to the point they no longer care, and enjoy it in the end. Asgore won't even recognise Frisk as human anymore when you meet him towards the end of genocide. Frisk is still Frisk (despite everything) at the end of pacifist, but has lost control and themselves completely at the end of genocide, and the damage is done, as doing pacifist after genocide backfires horribly on Frisk, the monsters, and possibly humanity too. The "will you spare them, run or fight? line could also represent the three paths the player can take. Also the music in that part along with the quieter singing makes it sound kind of ominous compared to the rest of the song.

[@blumdvil]

Rain-dancer when I heard that I remembered the time on the rollercoaster

[@Lankyboxsuperfan7wn]

Rain-dancer Or the "Oops, dropped your heart" part could mean when Frisk goes to battle mode as well. Cause Frisk literally drops their heart (which is their soul) and that is where you can fight the monster of spare them, thus the next words "Be careful in the dark", like what you said, meaning be careful of the Genocide, like what you said. Or it could mean the battery itself, cause your soul gets into a dark box where you need to dodge their attacks. "Someone might take it, break it apart.", this could mean that you might die, as the monsters want to take your soul, but it ends up well... breaking. "Trouble on the left, trouble on the right", this could be talking about their attacks, as they attack you, with bullets coming from left and right. "Will you spare them, to or fight? There are three bottoms that can defeat the monsters. The Fight button, where you attack the monsters. The run option and the spare option in the Mercy button. Although, Run and Spare can only work depending on the monster, fight is the only option where you can choose freely. So it's a double meaning, pretty much.

[@alienavery8729]

The line "down where the monsters go" makes me think about Chara a lot. When they fell they wanted to probably end their life. Something about them made other humans call them a monster. So if they didn't die from the fall, or monsters didn't kill them. They became one of the monsters. They literally went down where the other monsters go.

[@angelaneeley207]

@Mimi khas Not necessarily,both papyrus and Toriel use red text,and Chara uses white text both when saying it’s me Chara and when talking to you at the end of a genocide run,it’s safe to assume red text just means strong emotion.

Lyrics for all the people that wanna read all at once: Every good rhyme starts with "Once Upon A Time." Long ago, far away, centuries before (y)our day... Humans lived, monsters roamed. Both shared earth and sky as home. Yet this peace came undone. War was waged and humans won. Forced below, monster fell. Humans trapped them with a spell. Listen children, to my words: Ebott will eat you, beware the curse! Monsters teeth go clack, clack, clack... If you climb the mountain, *you won't come back!* Human child, human child, *won't turn around.* Human child, human child - oops they fell down! Human child, human child, look out below... *Down underground where the monsters go.* Oops dropped your heart... Be careful in the dark. Someone might take it and break it apart. Trouble on the left... trouble on the right... Will you spare them, run, or fight? Oops dropped your heart... *Be careful in the dark.* *Someone might take it and break it apart.* *Trouble* on the left, *trouble* on the right. Will you *spare* them, *run, or fight?*

And 9 is still a child so the whole point of "are you 7" is still relevant.
