Trip to heave and ho, up down, to and fro'
you have no word
trip, trip to a dream dragon

hide your wings in a ghost tower
sails cackling at every plate we break
was cracked by scattered needles

the little minute gong
coughs and clears his throat
madam you see before you stand

hey ho, never be still
the old original favorite grand
grasshoppers green Herbarian band

and the tune they play is "In Us Confide"
so trip to heave and ho, up down, to and fro'
you have no word

Please leave us here
close our eyes to the octopus ride!


Isn't it good to be lost in the wood
isn't it bad so quiet there, in the wood
meant even less to me than I thought

with a honey plough of yellow prickly seeds
clover honey pots and mystic shining feed...
the madcap laughed at the man on the border

hey ho, huff the Talbot
the winds they blew and the leaves did wag
they'll never put me in their bag

the raging seas will always seep
so high you go, so low you creep
the wind it blows in tropical heat

the drones they throng on mossy seats
the squeaking door will always squeak
two up, two down we'll never meet

Please leave us here
close our eyes to the octopus ride!


Sit up, touching hips
to a madcap galloping chase
"Cheat" he cried shouting kangaroo

it's true in their tree they cried
Please leave us here
close our eyes to the octopus ride!

The madcap laughed at the man on the border
hey ho, huff the Talbot
