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. |
