(intro) B5

B5                           E5    E5 E5 E5
The butterfly sailed on the breeze
G5                            F#5
Past a field of barbed wire trees
B5                           E5    E5 E5 E5
Where golden dragons chased around
G5                            F#5
Pampered poppies on the ground
D5           F#5              G5
Two silver trout sat way on high
D5             F#5        G5
And watched a royal samurai
D5               F#5           G5
Plant two black orchids in a box
D5            F#5            G5
And strap it to a laughing fox
B5                           E5   E5 E5 E5
A minstrel bought a crooked spoon
B5                      E5   E5 E5 E5
He gave it to a blue baboon
B5                            E5   E5 E5 E5
Who filled it full of virgin snow
F#5  G5           A5           B5
I'm wondering in the afterglow

(solo) B5 E5 E5 G5 F#5

B5                            E5   E5 E5 E5
Fat toad stood in his ballet shoes
G5                      F#5
Teaching sixteen kangaroos
B5                   E5   E5 E5 E5
How to skip across a lake
G5                           F#5
They found it hard to stay awake

(solo) B5 E5 E5 E5 E5 G5 F#5

D5         F#5             G5
A pharaoh played a merry tune
D5                F#5                G5
And watched nine cats dance on the moon
D5           F#5              G5
I didn't know what all this meant
D5        F#5                G5
I didn't know why I'd been sent.

(final) B5 E5 E5 E5 E5 (3x) 
        G5 A5 B5 (2x)
