(2nd line of chorus using same notes as above.)
Saw at least a hundred school girls sobbing into handkerchiefs as one.

(Go to following after the second line of chorus.)
  I don't believe they knew  I was a school boy.

And the bearded lady said to me "If you start your raving
and your misbehaving you'll be sorry.
And the chicken fancier came to play, with his long red beard
and his sister's weird, she drives a lorry.

Chorus, ending in above run
Laughed down by the putting green I popped them in their holes.
Four and twenty labourers were labouring and digging up their gold.
I don't believe knew that I was Long John Silver.

Saw Johnny Scarecrow make his rounds in his jet black mac
which he won't give back, stole it from a snowman.
As I did walk by Hampstead Fair, I came upon Mother Goose
so I turned her loose as she was screaming.

Chorus
Walked down by the bathing pond to try and catch some sun.
Must have been at least a hundred school girls
sobbing into handkerchiefs as one.
I don't believe they knew I was a school boy.
