Lyrics
[Cheap Day Return] On Preston Platform Do your soft shoe shuffle dance Brush away the cigarette ash That's falling down your pants And then you sadly wonder Does the nurse treat your old man The way she should? She made you tea Asked for your autograph What a laugh [Mother Goose] 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, lions too Piccadilly Circus? Walked down by the bathing pond To try and catch some sun Saw at least a hundred school girls 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 And 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 snowman As I did walk by Hampstead Fair I came upon Mother Goose So I turned her loose She was screaming Walked down by the bathing pond To try and catch some sun Must have been least a hundred school girls Sobbing into handkerchiefs as one I don't believe they knew I was a schoolboy
