Here come the elephants and tigers
Here come the kangaroo
Anyone can go to the circus
It's up to you
Mom (?) it's up to you
Bring your sister and your brother
You can even bring your mother

Here come the elephants and tigers
Here come the kangaroo
Anybody goes to the circus
We'll be there for you (?)

. . .


Today, the town seems like a tomb;
Everybody's locked up in his room;
Making love, or taking love--who cares?

If you take a walk out in the street,
Chances are there's someone that you'll meet.
If it's someone you know
You'll say hello, and good-bye.

Today's the very first day of the Spring;
A little girl's playing on her swing.
She doesn't know that a brand new show begins.

Now you come and tell me that you're sad;
But you never talk. about it when you're glad;
You criticise, and you shut your eyes...
That's too bad.

. . .


Have you seen miss clarietta
Riding round on her lambretta
On the mountainside
Looking out for friendly faces
Peering out of mountain places
Waiting for a ride
She's the queen of mountain magic, everybody knows
And late at night she sings with gentleness
Becoming to a rose
Please send her a great big shining star
To show her where you are
Please give her the love you've stored away
Vou cannot lose today

If you meet her in the moonlight


Don't be shy and don't be uptight
She might disappear
If she thinks you want to get her
Stop her, riding her lambretta
She won't let you near
She s the queen of mountain flowers
You can love them too
But if you pick her lovely flowers
How can they grow for you
Please send her a great big shining star
To show her where you are
Please give her the love you've stored away
You cannot lose today
Two, three, four,
I like it

. . .


She's got a feeling for the Spring
I've got another song to sing

Girl on a swing
Girl on a swing
Girl on a swing,
0n a swing
Such a pretty thing

She's not a victim of despair
She's just a feeling in the air

Girl on a swing
Girl on a swing
Girl on a swing,
0n a swing
Such a pretty thing

She sways, silently she sings
Her song gives my body wings

Girl on a swing
Girl on a swing
Girl on a swing,
0n a swing
Such a pretty thing

People say that they want to be free
They look at him and they look at me
But it's only themselves they're wanting to see
And everybody knows about it

We talk all night and we're all turned on
We believe we heard him singing his song
Telling us all there was work to be done
And everyone sung a chorus of I am the walrus

Yes Disneyland has come to town
Everyone's dressed and standing around
Alice is wearing her sexiest gown
But she doesn't want you to look at her

Beautiful people are queuing to drown
They wait for the lifeguard to put on his crown
But he's up at the other end of town
Trying to talk to the mirror

The scientist talks and he knows what he means
He sits on the floor and has beautiful dreams
Then he gets brought down by a woman who screams
But he knows it's only a record… Oh yes it is

His brave new girl stops feeding the ants
And looks at him with her septic pants
She still knows how to make him dance
And forget about emancipation… it's just imagination

And you and I we sit and hum
We know something's got to come
And get us off our endless bum
There's probably one in the bathroom
Or even in the hall
I don't know anymore than you do
In fact I don't know anything at all

. . .


On a railway train to anywhere,
Something happened finally.
The driver said he saw no station
And we were riding aimlessly.

The train was filled with sleeping passengers,
Going nowhere for the ride;
Spoken whispers filled the carriages
No one cared to look outside.

Conversation aimed at anyone
Bouncing questions off the wall;
Except for two excited children.
Burning caterpillars in the hall.

All at once, I got quite frightened..
Standing up, I gave a shout!
"I see a station just in front of me ,
Stop this train and let me out!"

The driver smiled and shook his head for me,
"This train don't stop for anyone.
And, if you want to leave this railway line,
You'll have to jump off on your own.

Someone came and gave me sandwiches,
Saying that I looked unwell.
He took my pulse and he gave it back to me,
And then he hit me with his bell.

He made a speech to all the passengers,
He said "I've been a place today;
And anyone who'd care to come with me..
Step outside and walk this way."

Inside the seats were warm and comfortable,
Outside the train was wild and strange.
I said, "Yes, sir, I'd like to come with you,
It's really time I made a change."

I left my seat and walked up front with him,
And he began to push the door.
I looked outside, but it nearly blinded me..
I'd never seen such light before.

. . .


My oh my oh my
Do you really have to cry?
Crying like a summer rain
Lady let me ease your pain.
Why oh why oh why
Don't you spread your winds and fly?
Flying like an autumn wind
Lady did you lose a friend?

Don't be sad and down
Take another look around
Maybe what you've lost you've found.

Don't be sad and down
Take another look around
Maybe what you've lost you've found

. . .


She climbs up the stairs by the light of a candle
Then the door with no handle is closing behind her again
She places the light on a chair by the window
Says a prayer while the wind blows
And then in her bed clothes she hides
Now she's safe from the darkness
She's safe from its clutch
Now nothing can harm her
At least not very much
What will you dream of tonight Lady Rachel?
What will you dream of tonight?
Who will you dream of tonight Lady Rachel?
Who will you dream of tonight?
She climbs up a hill and is handed a parcel
Then she unwraps the parcel
And discovers a castle inside
The draw bridge is open
And a voice from the water
Says “Welcome my daughter'
"We've all been expecting you to come"
She climbs up the stairs with the light of a candle
Then the door with no handle is closing behind her again
Now she's safe from the darkness
She's safe from it's clutch
Now nothing can harm her
At least not very much
What will you dream of tonight Lady Rachel?
What will you dream of tonight?
Who will you dream of tonight Lady Rachel?
What will you dream of tonight?
Who will you dream of tonight Lady Rachel?
What will you dream of tonight?

Does the world seem good to you?
Does the music get to you?
Does the wisdom of your heart
Show you how to play your part?

All my blond and twilight dreams;
All those strangled future schemes;
All those glasses drained of wines,
All this crazy gift of time.

You, dear sister, kiss of mine
Can you cope with all this time,
With your mystic all awry
Feeling small beneath the sky.

All my blond, etc.

Happy birthday to you all
I hope you really have ball.
And when you're walking up the road,
I hope you finally explode!

Goodbye, everybody
Now it's time to go.
I hope I don't leave you feeling low, Oh no....

Singing a song in the morning, singing it again at night
I don't even know what I'm singin' about but it makes me feel I feel alright, yeah yeah
Makes me feel I feel alright.

What do you know about nothing people?
You sell yourself so you can buy more
What do you care about bluffing people?
Does it make you want to try more?

We know what you mean
We know what you've seen
We understand

What do you care about bluffing people
Throwing sparrows from the treetops
What do you care about nothing people?
When you're waiting at the bus stop

I'm very glad to hear that
We understand the sky will be visible soon
We understand the sky will be visible soon

Soon soon soon you will be obliged to try
Soon soon soon to reach your moon and die

What do you care about nothing people?
You sell yourself so you can buy more
What do you care about nothing people?
And does it make you want to try more?

It's very nice to know

Everybody sing now
An optimistic future
