Been a-lookin' for a good girl,
But it's taking time. A-been a-lookin' for a good girl, A-one to please my mind as well as my time. I've been singing in the evening, Flying through the night. But I hurt my good gal, I hope she makes out right, Flying through the night. I've been picking up the sunshine, I've been drinking down the rain, girl, I've been picking up the sunshine, it makes me think on when I'll see you again. You know time could bring a change, girl, It ain't for me to say. You'll soon be out of range, girl, A-this could only be the way it's meant to be. Fairy castle stark and black in the moonlight, The jingle jangle jester rides his stallion Seagull flies across my eyes forever. Sadly goes the wind on its way to Hades. Would I, should I, could I be a stranger, I shall walk right by and sigh goodbye. Lucifer calls his legions from the hillside. Sadly goes the wind on its way to Hades. I've been lookin', oh yeah, I say I've been lookin' far a good girl, You better believe it, baby, yeah! Yes, I've been lookin' for a good gal, oh yeah! Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, Ain't kiddin' you, ain't kiddin' you, ain't kiddin' you Yeah, I've been a-lookin |

Here I stand acting like a silly clown would,
I don't know why Would anybody like to try The changes I'm going through ? A hidden lie would fortify Something that don't exist But it ain't so bad, I'm just a lad, So many more things to do, I intend to come right through them all with you. My songs are merely dreams visiting my mind We talk a while by a crooked stile, You're lucky to catch a few. There's no magic wand in a perfumed hand, It's a pleasure to be true. In my crystal halls a feather falls Being beautiful just for you But that might not be quite true, that's up to you. Dawn crept in unseen to find me still awake A strange young girl sang her songs for me And left 'fore the day was born. That dark princess with saddening jest She lowered her eyes of woe, And I felt her sigh, I wouldn't like to try The changes she's going through But I hope love comes right through them all with you |

Walking in the seashore twilight,
It's then you spy carnival lights, You slowly near the magic sight, Tangerine sky minus one kite. Take time an' tie your pretty hair The gypsy driver doesn't care If you catch your hair in the ferris wheel on top, In the ferris wheel on top. A silver bicycle you shall ride, To bathe your mind in the quiet tide. Far off as it seems your hair will mend With a Samson's strength to begin again. Take time an' dry your pretty eyes, Watch the seagull fly far-off skies To build its nest in the ferris wheel on top, In the ferris wheel on top. If ever I reach her. And the moral here, if any, my friend: Follow through your dream to the end. Dig the seagull fly across the sky To build its nest in the ferris wheel, In the ferris wheel |

Guinevere of the royal court of Arthur
Draped in white velvet, silk and lace. The rustle of her gown on the marble staircase, Sparkles on fingers, slender and pale. The jester he sleeps but the raven he peeps Through the dark foreboding skies of the royal domain. Maroon-coloured wine from the vineyards of Charlemagne Is sipped by the queen's lips and so gently Indigo eyes in the flickering candlelight, Such is the silence o'er royal Camelot. The jester he sleeps but the raven he peeps Through the dark foreboding skies of the royal domain. Guinevere of the royal court of Arthur Draped in white velvet, silk and lace.

I will bring you gold apples and grapes made of rubies
That have shone in the eyes of a prince of the breeze. Bright cascading crystals, they danced in the sand dunes On the beach of no footprints to harpsichord tunes. A throne of white ivory, a gown of white lace Lies still in the magic of a timeless place. One hundred small children, they laugh at the white doves That rest on their hands with the touch of love. On a hillside of velvet the children they lay down And make fun of the grown-ups with their silly frown. And the sound of their laughter is the sound of the green sea As it washed around the foot of the seashell tree. The doves circle over and land in the trees Where parrots are talking their words with such ease. Thus spoke three wizards to the young ones that day: "There's sadness in the kingdom, make it go far away." If you follow the sunbeams through the valley of flowers To the palace of the White Queen with its white jade towers. The youngest, she sighed then the clouds drew away And a hundred small fingers scratched their heads in dismay. >From out of the sun a giant gull came flying And the children got ready to sit on its wings. They waved to the raindrops as they soared over the trees The wind tossed their hair high, flashing gold on the sea. They came to the castle and there they did fall, And they saw all the sadness, through the crystal wall. A princess lay a-sleeping so gentle and kind Whilst her prince took to battle with his confused mind. The clash of bright metal brought the children fear, But their cloaks of blue satin dried up all of these tears. Thus children held hands and they spelled out their name All the golden children became a golden chain. It lies on a white throne in a magic place With a tunic of velvet and a gown of white lace. My sword, it lies broken and cast in a lake In a dream I was told that my princess would wake |

We was a-d-d-d-drivin' d-downtown L.A.,
About a-midnight hour And it almost b-b-blew my mind, I got caught in a coloured shower. All those lights were t-t-twinkling on Sunset, I saw a sign in the sky It said, "T-t-t-trip a t-trip, I trip, trip," I couldn't keep up up if I tried. Ah, we stepped down to reality company To get some instant sleep And the driver turned, I said, "Welcome back" He smiled and he said, "Beep beep". What goes on ? Chick-a-chick. What goes on ? I really wanna know. What goes on all around me, What goes on ? I really wanna know. When in should come-a my dream woman, She got sequins in her hair, Like she stepped out off of a Fellini film, She sat in a white straw chair But I thought I'd take a second look Just to see what I could see And my scene had popped out like a bubble does, There was nobody there but me. I said, "Girl, you drank a lot of drink-me, But you ain't in a Wonderland You know I might-a be there to greet you, child, When your trippin' ship touches sand." What goes on ? Chick-a-chick. What goes on ? I really wanna know. What goes on ? Chick-a-chick. What goes on ? I really wanna know. A silver goblet of wine is-a to be Held in a bejewelled glove And her knights they toast the tournament, The falcons they fly above. And the queen will a drink of the dew tonight But the jester she cries alone, Because Merlin he spoke of an instant spell To make the devil's white knights moan And-a all in all, the seagull said, "As I look to where I've been, The whole wide human race Has a-taken far too much Methedrine". What goes on ? Chick-a-chick. What goes on ? I really wanna know. What goes on ? So near What goes on ? I really wanna know. Yeah well, come on. We sat in a velvet jewel case With sparkles everywhere, And Julian he sat on a diamond ring And-a talked of the days gone by. We spoke of a common kaleidoscope And the pros and the cons of Zen And he spoke and-a said for a piece of cake He really did have a yen. Bobby Dylan he sat "the Mad Hatter", A broken hour glass in his hand, And-a Joannie sat in a white lace Looking cool with a black lace fan. What goes on ? Chick-a-chick. What goes on ? I really wanna know. What goes on ? Yes please tell me. What goes on ? I really wanna know |

As I recall it, the sun was high, Yellow in the blue, blue sky. You couldn't quite make out this boy, He used life as a toy. In a Marie-Antoinette room We were introduced soon, I was me and you were you, How do you do ? Raggedy and tousle-haired He looked as though he never cared To run a comb where a comb should run, Freckles from the sun. Many good times we have had, We been happy, we been sad, But I think we both feel glad That this life is so mad, mad, mad.

Goo goo, Barabajagal was his name now, Fine fine, fine fine Acelandine be prepared for her. Tea tea, tea tea to make her free while incense burned. In love pool eyes float feathers after the struggle. The hopes burst and shot joy all through the mind Sorrow more distant than a star. Multi colour run down over your body, Then the liquid passing all into all Love is hot truth is molten. True true, true true the song he sang her while the leaves cooked Ting ting, ting little bell he rang her, sleepily she looked. He filled, he filled a leather cup, holding her gaze She took, she took a little sip while this song he sang Goo goo, Barabajagal was my name now, |

I'm not very fancy in the mid of air,
I'm not proud to say I am merry here. I've found a girl and I love her so, Groovy, groovy woman and she set me free. Hark awhile and listen to this love song. Give me for sometimes I wanted to Take her to the woods and show her what to do. She could see the stars if she's looking up, Drink the sweet juice from a loving cup, Show her what it is to make a love song. Hey, have you ever seen the lonely ones Putting down the lovers for having fun ? The very same thing that would set them free, They should catch an evening with my lover and me, Whoopee!

Lady, you are my peace of mind
Were I to seek your par none I could find You delicately went to curry land And left a lonely man, ah me, yogi blue He thought to himself as he sat before His stocks and shares a dreadful bore If I'm to live another happy day I best make haste and be on my way He at his desk did write and indicate To lawyer, friend and intimate His lamentable grief did necessitate The need for one swift bird to sail the ocean o'er A sailing schooner was soon seen sailing, Swift and silent, around the sound Salutating seagulls heralding The wonderous transport upon the wing Twenty days from Goa they did espire A wealthy merchant bound for Arabi-iy Echanging greetings, had he heard the news The Lady Hall had drowned, the price of Ninevah rose Storms and tempests his shatterd mind beset Hurricanes of pains raged and tore Truly drowned in grief, he did repair To haunted trinkets and gross despair All in white 'neath shade in bamboo chair Military discipline has replaced despair Anchored in the bay of innocence Is left a lonely man, lonely through and through Through and through Through and through |

Do you remember when the floods hit Italy? How the things they treasured most were destroyed All the paintings and the worshipped images 'Cos they lost their faith in the real God He's goin' down and he's goin' down fast You really didn't think the ignorance could last All the little children are learning And the constellation is turning. A poke at the Pope, that's what we're havin' Mumbling by the tumbling tide The kind of America humbly cried Save my soul, save it soon!

To set your soul bird free from deathless delight. There are so many ways, forms upon which to gaze, Live in a divine daze of deathless delight, Deathless delight, deathless delight. There may be so many, many pains, Till of old the golden goal you gain. Out on the lonely road you began long ago, No other way to show deathless delight, Deathless delight, deathless delight. Deathless delight Deathless delight Deathless delight. I have had some tingles in my time, Never dreaming them to be a sign, be a sign. Out on the lonely road living a warrior's code, Everywhere thine abode of deathless delight, Deathless delight, deathless delight |

Among the chaos and the wheel, scattered all around. On the wild windy wave I'm tossed, cast away and lost, Now I understand what those sad songs say.

Make up your mind to be happy, Life is a merry-go-round. If an' you miss out this time, Don't let it fret your mind, Love will come round in the end.

Borne willy nilly here and there when our hearts are full of care, Oh my, now we understand what those sad songs say, Sad, sad songs they say. Make up your mind to be happy, Life is a merry-go-round. If an' you miss out this time, Don't let it fret your mind, Love will come round in the end.

Sailing homeward, it's time to go home,
Over the ocean of life we must roam. And when you get there, say hello for me, For I've a long, long way to go. There may be stormy days, there will be fires There will be valleys with mountains to climb. And when you get there, say hello for me, For I've a long, long way to go. Whenever I wander weary, I'll reach for you, I know you'll be there for to see me through. Da da da da da da da da da Da da da da da da da da da da And when you get there, say hello for me, For I've a long, long way to go. |

Why does it have to be just one day in the year
When we give love and share our joy ? That happy feeling between girl and boy. St. Valentine's angel, Oh, angel of all loving, St. Valentine's angel, Give my love to everyone. How I wish it could be St. Valentine's day forever for you and me. Oh, how I wish it could be St. Valentine's day forever for you and me. Wise men have often said You know, from the pages of the books I've read Life's joys and misery Walk hand in hand and keep each other company. St. Valentine's angel, Oh, angel of all loving, St. Valentine's angel, Give my love to everyone. How I wish it could be St. Valentine's day forever for you and me.

There is an ocean of vast proportion
And she flows within ourselves. To take dips daily we dive in gaily, He knows who goes within himself. The abode of Angels, the mystical Promised Land, The one and only Heaven, the God of man Is but the closing of an eyelid away. There is a silence of pure excellence And she flows within ourselves. To appreciate, re-deactivate, He knows who goes within himself. The domain of Devils, the Fearful Land, The only and only Hades, the Satan of man Is but the closing of an eyelid away. All is as it was and ever more shall be, Though they try to tell us it's not so. Over all the earth there's nothing new to see, Excepting every seed will newly grow. Innocence in childhood false men misconstrue To be years of darkness spent in shade, Denying childhood's vision of the God of Love, So that Truth be turned about and untruth made, And untruth made. There is a reason for every season Of change within ourselves. To navigate, re-appreciate And know the flow within ourselves. The deliverance from Deluge, the good dry land, The one and only Haven, the rock of Man Is but the closing of an eyelid away. There is a season, ooh, There is an ocean, ooh, There is a silence, ooh. |

There have been bad thing done
There have been some good one And many people died And many nations cried And many babies came As many died again Yet always Man prevailed Yeah though the Devil wailed You know we're way out there In some galaxy hair With all this space around We fight to keep our share. With all our cruelty And all our jealousy We find it hard to give To just live and let live To live and let live It's all in the Dance of Life my friend It's all in the Song that never ends It's all in the Dance of Life my friend Following that Yellow Star Following that Yellow Star Following that Yellow Star Following that Yellow Star We think that we're so big The truth we never, never twig And if some Quasar gonna blow I guess we'd never, never know And long before that day When we are burned away Let us take time to smile And swing a little while Just a little while. There have been many, many words And just as many, many turds It's all a kind of dream And not quite what it seems But when the talking's done This Life of Death we're gonna shun And turn our heart to Him Hail' S'lassi' Whose Light will never, never dim Whoa, oh, oh, It's all in the Dance of Life my friend It's all in the Song that never ends It's all in the Dance of Life my friends Following that Yellow Star Following that Yellow Star Following that Yellow Star Following that Yellow Star Following that Yellow Star Following that Yellow Star. |

Gaily bedight, a gallant knight In sunshine and in shadow All journey long, singing a song In search of Eldorado. But he grew old this knight so bold And o'er his heart a shadow Fell as he found no spot of ground That looked like Eldorado. Over the mountains of the moon Down the valley of the shadow Ride boldly ride, the shade replied If you seek for Eldorado. And as his strength failed him at length He met a pilgrim shadow 'Shadow' - said he - 'Where can it be' 'This land of Eldorado ?' Over the mountains of the moon Down the valley of the shadow Ride boldly ride, the shade replied If you seek for Eldorado. |

One day a funny kind of man
Came walking down this street He wore a shoe upon his head And hats upon his feet, He raised the shoe and smiled at me His manners were polite But never had I seen before such a funny sounding sight He said : ≪A Allow me to present Your highness with a roseA ≫ An taking out a current bun He held it ti his nose Staggered back against the wall And the I answered : ≪A well, I never saw a rose with such A funny looking smellA ≫. He the began to sing a song Mmmmmm......................... and sat down on the ground You never heard in all yollur life Such a funny feeling sound ≪A My friend, why do you wear 2 hats upon your feet?A ≫ I said He turned the other way about And hopped on his head.

Can ye dance with silver moonsteps on the love couch of the sand ? I will sing and play a fairy reel upon a swany lute A tale of silver sandals or an elf who loved to fish For the twinkles in the evening waves with an oaken dish. As ye skip and spin and reel, can ye loose thy velvet band ? And send thy mane a-tossing to the kissing of the moon ? And as ye bid me enter, thine eyes will open love To the allness of the smallness and the starry sky above. Oh pa ti to cum dee ... As ye skip and spin and reel, can ye loose thy velvet band ?

Should you wander this land to the North, And few seldom do, Should you follow the song of the gull To enchanted western isles, Coax a fisherman to take you out Where the silky seals are seen, Hear the stories that they tell about The maiden who is their queen, The maiden who is their queen. Celia of the seals, She knows just how they feel, Celia of the seals. "Voyna, voyna, voyna, voyna voyna vay" "Voyna, voyna, voyna, voyna voyna vay" Seal hunters are not brave and bold, They murder her poor wee seals And cut off their skins to be sold, Cursed be he who deals. There's no reason for this slaughtering, They're left on the rocks to bleed He's not a man who does this thing, It's a cruel and a heartless deed, A cruel and a-heartless deed. Celia of the seals, She knows just how they feel, Celia of the seals. Celia of the seals, Celia of the seals, She knows just how they feel, Celia of the seals, Celia of the seals, Celia of the seals, "Voyna, voyna, voyna, voyna voyna vay" "Voyna, voyna, voyna, voyna voyna vay" |

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. 'Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!' He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. 'And has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Calloh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. |

I danced in the Moon, and the stars, and the Sun I came down from Heaven and I danced on Earth At Bethlehem I had my birth. Dance then, wherever you may be I am the Lord of the Dance, said He! And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He! I danced for the scribe and the pharisee They would not dance, they wouldn't follow me So I danced for the fishermen James and John They come with me and the Dance went on: Dance then, wherever you may be I am the Lord of the Dance, said He! And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He! I danced on the Sabbath and cured the lame The holy people, they said it was a shame! They whipped and stripped and then hung me high Left me there on a cross to die! Dance then, wherever you may be I am the Lord of the Dance, said He! And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He! I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black It's hard to dance with the devil on your back They buried my body and they thought I'd gone But I am the Dance and I still go on! Dance then, wherever you may be I am the Lord of the Dance, said He! And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He! They cut me down but I leap up high I am the Life that will never never die! I live in you if you live in Me I am the Lord of the Dance, said He! Dance then, wherever you may be For I am the Lord of the Dance, said He! And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!

A little fairy comes at night, her eyes are blue and her hair is brown With silver spots upon her wings And from the moon she flutters down. She has a little silver wand And when a good child goes to bed She waves a hand from right to the left And makes a circle round its head. And then it dreams of pleasant things, Of fountains filled with fairy fish And trees that bear delicious fruit And bow their branches at a wish. Of arbours filled with dainty scents, >From lovely flowers that never fade, Bright flies that glitter in the sun And glow-worms shining in the shade And talking birds with gifted tongues For singing songs and telling tales And pretty dwarfs to show the way Through fairy hills and fairy dales. A little fairy comes at night, her eyes are blue and her hair is brown With silver spots upon her wings And from the moon she flutters down |

Oh the little white road climbs over the hill My feet they must follow, they cannot be still Must follow and follow though far it may roam Oh little white road, will you never come home ? Oh the hills they are patient and steadfast and wise They look o'er the valleys and up to the skies But the little white road scrambles up them and over Oh little white road, you are ever the rover. I fain would go with you right down to the sea Where a ship with white sails would be waiting for me Go sailing and sailing to strange lands afar Where deserts and forests and lost cities are. But when I grew weary of my gypsying ways I'd sail home again for to end all my days In the little grey cottage, beside the grey hill But you, little road, would be wandering still. |

I'm not sure this is the pee pee song you were looking for but here ya go:
Pee pee......have you ever heard a song about pee pee? It's a little bit of rain coming out of you. It's a tinkle it's a puddle it's a wee wee too. Wee wee in French means yes yes yes. No no in French means no. Red is stop and green is go and sometimes pee pee is yellow. |

Outside our little garden gate, far over hill and down The bright road, the long white road goes winding through the town. I often peep between the bars when I am tired of play I wish that I could follow it some happy summer day. ... pass beneath the trees ... |

I wish I could find a queer street,
The crooked queer street that goes East of the sun and West of the moon And out where no wind blows. Then I'd find the shop where the seller of stars Sits and hammers behind the bars. Stars he gives for the asking, Starlight swords for the bold. Moon he sells for a penny or two Rounded and bright with gold. And broken silver of the sea he sells And the rain spears and the wind bells. Wings he weaves for the fairies, Gold of the sun you can buy And silver flowers of frost and dew, Rainbows out of the sky. And delicate morning mist he sells And pretty new songs for whispering shells. Oh, if I could find that dear street, The darling wee street with his house. I would buy a blackbird's whistle for you And for Johnny a talking mouse And a mermaid's tail to swim in the sea And dragon-fly wings for my Mummy and me! I wish I could find the wee street, That wanders up and down, That is East of the sun and West of the moon And very near twilight town, Where the seller of stars for a penny or two Will sell your heart's desire to you |

How I wonder what you are Up above the world so high Like a diamond in the sky When the blazing sun is gone When he nothing shines upon Then you show your little light Twinkle, twinkle all the night. The dark blue sky you keep And often through my curtains peep For you never shut your eye Till the sun is in the sky 'Tis your bright and tiny spark Lights the traveller in the dark Though I know not what you are Twinkle, twinkle, little star. Twinkle, twinkle little star How I wonder what you are Up above the world so high Like a diamond in the sky Twinkle, twinkle, little star. |

Hast thou seen the unicorn
Along the misty shore ? In truth 'tis strange to see him there, But what he a stranger more, He bowing down the horny horn Strangely strung with bells, Combing through the shingle for The periwinkle shells |

The moon is like a boat, my love Of lemon peel afloat, my love And with a sail of gauze, my love She seems to slightly pause Upon her silent way, all on her silent way. I see her pearly decks, my love Set in with twinkling specks, my love I see her pearly mast, my love Far from her seashell past And gently does she sway, all on her starry way. Of silk they have been spun, my love Her ropes that limply run, my love Down to her carved prow, my love Down to her mermaid prow And softly does she sway, all on her starry way. All in the Sea of Sky, my love The moonships sail and fly, my love Though many are their kind, my love Though all need but one wind To make their starry way, to make their starry way. And there will come a time, my love O may it be in mine, my love When men will proudly rise, my love And board to sail the skies Moonships from all the spheres, moonships from all the spheres. The men he bathed in light, my love The women clothed in white, my love All in that woundrous fleet, my love As each the other meets Will smile and softly sing, will smile and softly sing. And on some distant sand, my love The ships will gently land, my love Fair folk will meet them there, my love With golden flowing hair And great will be their joy, and great will be their joy. The moon is like a boat, my love Of lemon peel afloat, my love And with a sail of gauze, my love She seems to slightly pause. |

Presenta the grand circo! The prima del mondo! La grand successo! Giulia Nova Vittorio! Fantastico! Magnifico! Spectaculario! (spoken) Here Alice ventured to interupt - "It's very long" she said as politely as she could - "Will you tell me first which road?" Tweedledum smiled gently and began again. (spoken) The sun was shining on the sea, Shining with all his might; He did his very best to make The billows smoothe and bright - And this was odd, because it was The middle of the night. (sung) The moon was shining sulkily Because she thought the sun Had got no business to be there After the day was done. "It's very rude of him," she said, "To come and spoil all the fun." (sung) The sea was wet as wet could be, The sands were dry as dry. You could not see a cloud Because no cloud was in the sky. No birds were flying overhead There were no birds to fly. (spoken) The Walrus and the Carpenter Were walking close at hand. They wept like anything to see Such quantities of sand. "If this were only cleared away," They said, "it would be grand." (spoken) "If seven maids with seven mops Swept it for half a year, Do you suppose," the Walrus said, "That they could get it clear?" "I doubt it," said the Carpenter, And shed a bitter tear. (spoken) "O Oysters, come and walk with us!" The Walrus did beseech. "A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk, Along the briny beach. We cannot do with more than four, To give a hand to each." (spoken) The eldest Oyster looked at him, But never a word he said. The eldest Oyster winked his eye, And shook his heavy head - Meaning to say he did not choose To leave the oyster bed. (sung) But four young Oysters hurried up, All eager for their treat, Their coats were brushed, Their faces washed, Their shoes were clean and neat, And this was odd, Because you know they hadn't any feet. (sung) Four other Oysters followed them And yet another four, And thick and fast they came at last, And more, and more, and more, All hopping through the frothy waves And scrambling to the shore. (sung) The Walrus and the Carpenter Walked on a mile or so, And then they rested on a rock Conveniently low, And all the little Oysters stood And waited in a row. (spoken) "The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things; Of shoes - and ships - and sealing wax - Of cabbages - and kings - And why the sea is boiling hot - And whether pigs have wings." (sung) "But wait a bit," the Oysters cried, "Before we have our chat, For some of us are out of breath, And all of us are fat!" "No hurry," said the Carpenter, They thanked him much for that. (sung) "A loaf of bread," the Walrus said, "Is what we chiefly need, Pepper and vinegar besides, Are very good indeed, Now, if you're ready oysters dear, We can begin to feed." (sung) "Not on us!" the Oysters cried Turning a little blue, "After such kindness that would be A dismal thing to do." (spoken) "The night is fine," the Walrus said, "Do you admire the view?" (spoken) "It was so kind of you to come! And you are very nice." The Carpenter said nothing but, "Cut us another slice. I wish you were not quite so deaf - I've had to ask you twice." (spoken) "It seems a shame," the Walrus said, "To play them such a trick, After we've brought them out so far, And made them trot so quick." The Carpenter said nothing but, "The butter's spread to thick." (spoken) "I weep for you," the Walrus said, "I deeply sympathize." (sung) With sobs and tears he sorted out Those of the largest size, Holding his pocket handkerchief Before his streaming eyes. (spoken) "Oh oysters" said the Carpenter, "You've had a pleasant run - Trotting home again?" But answer came there none. And this was scarcely odd Because they'd eaten every one. They'd eaten every one. |

If you wear a woven ring made of grass You can hear the fairies sing as they pass You can hear them rush and scurry When they're rather in a hurry. If you wear a daisy chain, neat and strong You can hear the goblin train rush along You can hear it hoot and whistle As it dives beneath a thistle. If you lace two grassy blades in your shoe You can dream of fairy glades, fairies too If you've found a four-leafed clover You can dream this four times over. |
