john phillips (zimbabwe) – permutation child lyrics
[verse 1]
(i have) three dolls and i love them tenderly
sapphire, sugarplum, and tangerine
they live in a cottage of marbles and emeralds in the draw of the cupboard in the room where i dream
[verse 2]
my name is candy and my daddy is a scientist
sapphire, sugarplum, and tangerine
he looks like a lobster and laughs like a bullfrog
says when i grow up i shall be a queen
[verse 3]
i live in a country called pandemonium
sapphire, sugarplum, and tangerine
there’s ogres and there’s giants and there’s trolls and monsters
and witches with faces that are bright green
[verse 4]
i like to dress up my three little playing mates
sapphire, sugarplum, and tangerine
but i cry sometimes for i have no fingers
and i have to eat my dinner behind a screen
[verse 5]
my daddy says i mustn’t make a fuse about my hands
sapphire, sugarplum, and tangerine
cuz there’s children next door, without legs or arms
and at night i can sometimes hear their mummies scream
[verse 6]
it was long long ago when the enemies bombed us
sapphire, sugarplum, and tangerine
and all the children born were strange and different
i wonder if i’m really gonna be a queen
