Jethro Tull - Cheap Day Return / Mother Goose Songtext


CHEEP DAY RETURN



On Preston Platform

Do your soft shoe shuffle dance

Brush away the cigarette ash

That's falling down your pants

And then you sadly wonder

Does the nurse treat your old man

The way she should?

She made you tea

Asked for your autograph--

What a laugh



MOTHER GOOSE






As I did walk by Hampstead Fair,

I came upon Mother Goose,

So I turned her loose--

She was screaming.

And a foreign student said to me

Was it really true

There are elephants, lions too,

Piccadilly Circus?



Walked down by the bathing pond

To try and catch some sun.

Saw at least a hundred school girls

Sobbing into handkerchiefs as one.

I don't believe they knew

I was a schoolboy.



And a 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.



Laughed down by the putting green,

I popped 'em in their holes.

Four and twenty labourers were labouring

And digging up their gold.

I don't believe they 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--

She was screaming.



Walked down by the bathing pond

To try and catch some sun.

Must have been least a hundred school girls

Sobbing into handkerchiefs as one.

I don't believe they knew

I was a schoolboy.
