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 piccadily circus?
Walked down by the bathing pond To try and catch some Sun Saw at least a hundred schoolgirlssobbing Into handkerchiefs as one I don't believe they know 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 know 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
