[Bb] [Eb]
[Gb] [B]
[Ab]
[Eb] [Bb] [Eb] Do even [Gb] ho, up, [B] down, to and fro, you [Ab] have no words.
[Eb] [Bb] Flip, flip [Ab] to a dream [Bb] dragon, hide your [Ab] wings in a ghost [Bb] tower.
Sails [Ab] cackling at every break we [Bb] break, stracked by scattered [A] needles.
[Ab] A little mini-concorp soon clears its throat, madam you see before you stand.
Hey, oh, never be still, the old original favourite grand.
Drafts of a screen of air in band, and the tune they play is an ask [F] and fight.
[Bb]
So trip [Eb] to, even ho,
[Gb] up, [B] down, to and fro, [Ab] you have no words.
[F] Please leave [Bb] us here, [Eb] [F] close [Bb] our eyes to the [Eb] octopus throng.
[E] [Gb]
Good to be locked in the woods, it's bad to be quiet up there in the [G] woods.
[Ab]
[Db] Sleep and I [Ab] thought with a happy-go-lucky [Db] sleep,
[Ab] over a [Db] handful of mystic shine.
[F]
[Bb] Good and bad cats [Eb] laugh at the man on the [Gb] border.
Hey, great [B] ho, up, [Gb] down, to and fro, [Bb] you see [Ab] from shoddy kangaroos.
[Bb]
So turn that tree [Ab] to cry, [F]
please leave [Bb] us here, [Eb] [F]
close [Bb] our eyes to the octopus [Eb] throng.
[F]
[Fm]
[F]
Please leave [Bb] us here, [Eb] [F] close [Bb] our eyes to the octopus [Eb]
throng.
[Bb] Bad cat [Eb] laugh [Ab] at the man on the [Bb] border.
Hey, [Ab] love, up the toilet, [Bb] the wind's safe, [Eb] no [Ab] one's an easy way.
[Bb] So they'll never [Ab] put me in their bag, [Bb] the seas will [Ab] reach and always [Eb] see.
[Bb] So high you [Ab] go, so low you breathe, [Bb] the wind it [Ab] blows in tropical heat.
[Bb] So does they [Ab] throng on mossy sheets, [Bb] the squeaking [Ab] door will always [Bb] creak.
So up to [Ab] down, we'll never leave, [Bb] so merrily [Ab] drift with me by my side.
[F] Please [Bb] leave us here, [Eb]
[F] close [Bb] our eyes to the octopus [Eb] throng.
[E] [F] [Gb]
