The butterfly sailed on the breeze
G                            F#
Past a field of barbed wire trees
Bm                           E    E9 E E9
Where golden dragons chased around
G                            F#
Pampered poppies on the ground
D           F#              G
Two silver trout sat way on high
D             F#        G
And watched a royal samurai

Plant two black orchids in a box
D            F#            G
And strap it to a laughing fox
Bm                           E   E9 E E9
A minstrel bought a crooked spoon
Bm                      E   E9 E E9
He gave it to a blue baboon
Bm                            E   E9 E E9
Who filled it full of virgin snow
F#  G           A           Bm
I'm wondering in the afterglow

Fat toad stood in his ballet shoes
G                      F#
Teaching sixteen kangaroos

How to skip across a lake

They found it hard to stay awake

(solo) Bm E E9 E E9 G F#

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