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.
