Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Prince or pauper, beggar man or thing
Play the game with every flower you bring
Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away, dandelion
[Verse 2]
One o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock, four o'clock, five
Dandelions don't care about the time
Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away, dandelion
Blow away, dandelion
[Verse 3]
Though you're older now, it's just the same
You can play the dandelion game
When you're finished with you're child-like prayers
Well, you know you should wear it
[Verse 4]
Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailors' lives
Rich man, poor man, beautiful daughters' wives
Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away, dandelion
Blow away, dandelion
[Verse 5]
Little girls and boys come out to play
Bring your dandelions to blow away
Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away, dandelion
Blow away, dandelion
[Verse 6]
Blow away, dandelion
Dandelion
Dandelion
