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 Drivs 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.
