[length: 03:53]
[00:10.94]As I did walk by Hampstead Fair
[00:14.16]I came upon Mother Goose
[00:16.62]So I turned her loose —
[00:19.02]But she was screaming.
[00:24.73]And a foreign student said to me,
[00:28.51]”Was it really true
[00:30.87]There are elephants and lions too
[00:33.42]In Piccadilly Circus?”
[00:44.13]Walked down by the bathing pond
[00:46.53]To try and catch some sun.
[00:51.58]Saw at least a hundred schoolgirls
[00:53.95]Sobbing into handkerchiefs as one.
[01:00.09]I don’t believe they knew
[01:03.44]I was a schoolboy.
[01:13.99]And a bearded lady said to me,
[01:17.77]”If you start your raving
[01:20.68]And your misbehaving
[01:22.98]You’ll be sorry.”
[01:28.90]Then the chicken-fancier came to play
[01:32.73]With his long red beard
[01:35.27]And his sister’s weird:
[01:37.46]She drives a lorry.
[01:48.26]Laughed down by the putting green
[01:50.61]Now I popped ’em in their holes.
[01:55.24]Four and twenty labourers were labouring
[01:58.72]And digging up their gold.
[02:04.17]I don’t believe they knew
[02:07.01]That I was Long John Silver.
[02:32.95]Saw Johnny Scarecrow make his rounds
[02:36.98]In his jet-black mac
[02:39.23]Which he won’t give back
[02:41.89]Stole it from a snowman.
[02:47.95]As I did walk by Hampstead Fair
[02:51.36]I came upon Mother Goose
[02:53.81]So I turned her loose
[02:56.38]But she was screaming.
[03:07.37]Walked down by the bathing pond
[03:09.39]To try and catch some sun.
[03:13.81]Must have been at least a hundred schoolgirls
[03:16.60]Sobbing into handkerchiefs as one.
[03:23.02]I don’t believe they knew
[03:26.69]I was a schoolboy.
