[Verse 1] As I did walk by Hampstead Faire 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 Picadilly Circus Walked down by the bathing pond to try and catch some sun Saw at least a hundred school girls sobbing intoHankerchiefs as one I don’t believe they knew I was a schoolboy [Verse 2] 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 sister weird she drives a lorry (hmm) Back down by the putting green I popped them in their holes      Four and twentylaborers were laboring and digging up Their gold      I don’t believe they knew that I was Long John Silver [Verse 3] 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 Iturned 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 intoHankerchiefs as one   I don’t believe they knew I was a schoolboy.
