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
