Artist/Band: Jethro Tull
Lyrics for Song: Mother Goose
Lyrics for Album: Best Of Acoustic [2007]



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 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.
