julian lennon - the escapade lyrics
mike batt
narration: there was one who was famed for the number of things
he forgot when he entered the ship:
his umbrella, his watch, all his jewels and rings,
and the clothes he had bought for the trip.
he had forty-tow boxes all carefully packed,
with his name painted clearly on each;
but since he omitted to mention the fact,
they were all left behind on the beach.
he came as a baker; but owned, when too late-
and it drove the poor bellman half mad-
he could only bake bridecake -for which, i may state,
no materials were to be had.
i came as the baker on this escapade,
i knead the dough, but i can’t look after the bread,
the banker does it instead,
and although i never feel afraid,
somehow i know
it could be the single worst mistake i’ve ever made,
to come as the baker on this escapade.
