ian anderson – mother goose lyrics
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.
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.
saw at least a hundred schoolgirls sobbing
into hankerchiefs as one.
i don’t believe they knew
i was a schoolboy.
