Song information
Artist: Jethro Tull Album: Aqualung
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
