Dragon-tail Drunk
Going out again
to market, to market, to St. Bartholomew Faire!
I meet a solo hen
who as a trade had set to braid Lady Godiva's hair
Into a sticky bun
Coming in again
Cock Robin, Cock Robin, Cock is a-ruling the Roost!
I meet a thousand men
Who, like Kevin, didn't understand metre
but rhymed like John Skelton
Passing by again
Hoop-la ho, Hoop-la ho, Hoop for the rest of the Coop!
A bearded bard, with pen,
Did once extol the virtues of Campbell's vegetable soup
On a tin drum
Proceeding home again
To lodging, to lodging, to the House in the Square!
Fair Barbie could not ken
That nowadays for ancient ways the young folk do not care
For the life of a bum
