Jethro Tull "Mother Goose" lyrics

Translation to:de

Mother Goose

As I did walk by Hampstead FairI came upon Mother GooseSo I turned her looseShe was screaming.And a foreign student said to me:Was it really true there are elephants and lions tooin Piccadilly Circus?

Walked down by the bathing pondTo try and catch some sun.Saw at least a hundred schoolgirls sobbingInto hankerchiefs as one.I don't believe they knewI was a schoolboy.

And a bearded lady said to me,If you start your raving and your misbehaving,You'll be sorry.Then the chicken-fancier came to playWith his long red beard (and his sister's weird:She drives a lorry).

Laughed down by the putting green,I popped `em in their holes.Four and twenty labourers were labouring,digging up their gold.I don't believe they knewThat I was Long John Silver.

Saw Johnny Scarecrow make his roundsIn his jet-black mac (which he won't give back)Stole it from a snow man.

As I did walk by Hampstead FairI came upon Mother GooseSo I turned her looseShe was screaming.

Walked down by the bathing pondTo try and catch some sun.Must have been at least a hundred schoolgirls sobbingInto hankerchiefs as one.I don't believe they knewI was a schoolboy.
