As I did walk by Hampstead Faire
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 Picadilly Circus
Walked down by the bathing pond to try and catch some sun
Saw at least a hundred school girls sobbing intoHankerchiefs as one
I don't believe they knew I was a schoolboy
And the bearded lady said to me
If you start your raving and your misbehaving you'll be sorry
Then the chicken fancy came to play
With his long red beard and his sister weird
she drives a lorry (hmm)
Back down by the putting green I popped them in their holes
Four and twentylaborers were laboring and 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 snowman
As I did walk by Hampstead Faire
I came upon Mother Goose so Iturned her loose she Was screaming
Walked down by the bathing pond to try and catch some sun
Saw at least a hundred school girls sobbing intoHankerchiefs as one
I don't believe they knew I was a schoolboy.
