Lyrics

As I did walk by Hampstead Fair
I came upon Mother Goose
So I turned her loose and she was screaming
And a foreign student said to me
"Was it really true
There are elephants, lions too
In Piccadilly Circus?"
Walked down by the bathing pond
To try and catch some sun
Saw at least a hundred school girls
Sobbing into handkerchiefs 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"
And 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
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 Fair
I came upon Mother Goose
So I turned her loose and she was screaming
Walked down by the bathing pond
To try and catch some sun
Must have been least a hundred school girls
Sobbing into handkerchiefs as one
I don't believe they knew I was a schoolboy
