Burl Ives - Mother Goose Song      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 hankerchiefs 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 snow man.
