Jethro Tull - Mother Goose

D
As I did walk by Hampstead Faire
            G F    G
I came upon Mother Goose
     G      F   G             D
so I turned her loose she was screaming
D
And a foreign student said to me
       G  F   G
Was it really true there are elephants
    G  F  G                D
and lions too in Picadilly Circus


G           G/F#   Em      D       C
Walked down by the bathing pond to try
    C/B        C G  D
and catch some sun
               G       G/F#         Em
Saw at least a hundred school girls sobbing
D    C     C/B       C G  D
into hankerchiefs as one
  Dm                              D
I don't believe they knew I was a schoolboy


And the bearded lady said to me
If you start your raving and your misbehaving you'll be sorry
Then the chicken fancy came to play
With his long red beard and his sisters wierd she drives a lorry (hmm)

Back down by the putting green I popped them in their holes
Four and twenty laborers were laboring 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 Faire
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
Saw at least a hundred school girls sobbing into hankerchiefs as one
I don't believe they knew I was a schoolboy
