JETHRO TULL - Mother Goose lyrics

rate me

As I did walk by hampstead fair<br>I came upon mother goose -- so I turned her loose --<br>She was screaming.<br>And a foreign student said to me --<br>Was it really true there are elephants and lions too<br>In piccadilly circus? <br>Walked down by the bathing pond<br>To try and catch some sun.<br>Saw at least a hundred schoolgirls sobbing<br>Into hankerchiefs as one.<br>I don't believe they knew<br>I was a schoolboy.<br><br>And a bearded lady said to me --<br>If you start your raving and your misbehaving --<br>You'll be sorry.<br>Then the chicken-fancier came to play --<br>With his long red beard (and his sister's weird:<br>She drives a lorry).<br><br>Laughed down by the putting green --<br>I popped `em in their holes.<br>Four and twenty labourers were labouring --<br>Digging up their gold.<br>I don't believe they knew<br>That I was long john silver.<br><br>Saw johnny scarecrow make his rounds<br>In his jet-black mac (which he won't give back) --<br>Stole it from a snow man.
