B5       E5            G5         C5                       A5
Trip to heave and ho, up, down, to and fro', you have no word
B5               A5
trip, trip to a dream dragon
B5                    A5
hide your wings in a ghost tower 
B5                 A5                 B5
sails cackling at every plate we brake
B5                                Bb5
was cracked by scattered needles
A5
the little minute gong coughs and clears his throat
A5
madam you see before you stand, hey, ho, never be still
A5
the old original favorite grand grasshoppers green Herbarian band
A5                                   F#5
and the tune they play is "In us Confide"

       Isn't it good to be lost in the wood
G5                                        G#5
Isn't it bad so quiet there, in the wood
A5                  D5
meant even less to me than I thought
       A5                   D5
with a honey plough yellow prickly seeds
A5                     D5              F#5
clover honey pots and mystic shining feed...


          B5                     E5
well, the madcap laughed at the man on the border
G5        C5
hey, ho, huff the talbot
B5                        A5
cheat! he cried, shouted kangaroo

B5        A5
hey, ho, huff the talbot
    B5                       A5
the winds they blew and the leaves did wag
    B5                    A5
and they'll never put me in their bag
    B5                A5
the raging seas will always seep
   B5               A5
so high you go, so low you creep
    B5                A5
the wind it blows in tropical heat
    B5                     A5
the drones they throng on mossy seats
    B5                   A5
the squeaking door will always squeak
    B5                 A5
two up, two down will never meet
   B5                A5
so merrily trip for good my side
