Mother Goose - Steven Wilson Stereo Remix

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 elephants and lions too
 In Picadilly Circus?"
 Walked down by the bathing pond
 To try and catch some sun
 Saw at least a hundred schoolgirls
 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"
 
 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 snowman
