mother goose

mükemmel olarak nitelendirelebilecek bir jethro tull şarkısı.

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-
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 snow man.
