Lyrics
As I did walk by Hampstead Fair
I came upon Mother Goose
So I turned her loose
But she was screaming
And a foreign student said to me
"Was it really true
There are elephants, lions too
In Piccadilly Circus?"
Walked down by the bathing pond
To try and catch some sun
Must to been a hundred school girls
Sobbing into handkerchiefs as one
I don't believe they knew
I was a schoolboy, yeah
And a bearded lady said to me
"If you start your raving
And your misbehaving
You'll be sorry", yeah
And the chicken fancier came to play
With his long red beard
And his sister's weird
She drives a lorry, hmm, yeah
