Mother Goose |
| 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. |
