Mugs and bu*tercups the dancing crinoline
Inside a picture book of a sky
The frantic bu*terflies their colours hypnotise
The crusty baker making his pies
Thieves and scallywags, The mighty morris men
outside a window pane in the sun
A bell strikes One O'clock
Put on your summer frock
The last fandango's first to be done
I was painting rhymes
Sketching phantoms drawn from the years
Tell me the truth
Where are those Pinafore Days
I knew?
Spats and Gollywogs, Outlandish acrobats
Beside a jumble sale in the wind
The bouncing dicky birds are really lost for words
The copper kettle's trying to sing
I was painting ruins
Sketching phantoms drawn from the years
Tell me the truth
Where are those Pinafore Days
I knew?
