| As I did walk by Hampstead Fair | | | |
|
I came upon Mother Goose -- so I turned her loose -- | | | |
|
she was screaming. | | | |
|
And a foreign student said to me -- | | | |
|
was it really true there are elephants and lions too | | | |
|
in Piccadilly Circus? | | | |
|
| | | |
|
Walked down by the bathing pond | | | |
|
to try and catch some sun. | | | |
|
Saw at least a hundred schoolgirls sobbing | | | |
|
into hankerchiefs as one. | | | |
|
I don't believe they knew | | | |
|
I was a schoolboy. | | | |
|
| | | |
|
And a bearded lady said to me -- | | | |
|
if you start your raving and your misbehaving -- | | | |
|
you'll be sorry. | | | |
|
Then the chicken-fancier came to play -- | | | |
|
with his long red beard (and his sister's weird: | | | |
|
she drives a lorry). | | | |
|
| | | |
|
Laughed down by the putting green -- | | | |
|
I popped `em in their holes. | | | |
|
Four and twenty labourers were labouring -- | | | |
|
digging up their gold. | | | |
|
I don't believe they knew | | | |
|
that I was Long John Silver. | | | |
|
| | | |
|
Saw Johnny Scarecrow make his rounds | | | |
|
in his jet-black mac (which he won't give back) -- | | | |
|
stole it from a snow man. | | | |
