Cheap Day Return/Mother Goose |
| On Preston Platform |
| Do your soft shoe shuffle dance |
| Brush away the cigarette ash |
| That’s falling down your pants |
| And then you sadly wonder |
| Does the nurse treat your old man |
| The way she should? |
| She made you tea |
| Asked for your autograph |
| What a laugh |
| 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 were elephants and lions too |
| In Picadilly Circus? |
| Walked down by the bathing pond |
| To try and catch some sun |
| Saw at least a hundred schoolgirls |
| Sobbing into handkerchiefs 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 snowman |
| As I did walk by Hampstead Fair |
| I came upon Mother Goose |
| So I turned her loose |
| She was screaming |
| Walked down by the bathing pond |
| To try and catch some sun |
| Must’ve been at least a hundred schoolgirls |
| Sobbing into handkerchiefs as one |
| I don’t believe they knew |
| I was a schoolboy |
