Pampered poppies on the ground

Two silver trout sat way on high

And watched a royal samurai

Plant two black orchids in a box

A minstrel bought a crooked spoon

He gave it to a blue baboon
Am                        D4   D   D9
Who filled it full of virgin snow
     F7M      G           Am
And watched it in the afterglow

The toad stoon in his ballet shoes

Teaching sixteen kangaroos

How to skip across a lake

They found it hard to stay awake

A pharaoh played a merry tune
C                G                 Am    F7M
And watched nine cats dance on the moon
C          G             Am F7M
I didn't know what all this meant
C            G             Am   F7M
I didn't know why I was sent.


Am                        D4  D  D9
I threw five clocks down on my bed
Am                    D4   D   D9
The chimes danced out on golden threads
Am                        D4   D   D9
And turned to footprints on my wall
     F7M      G           Am
Sequined tears began to fall

Am       D4 D D9
Am       D4 D D9
