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 brake
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 yellow prickly seeds
clover honey pots and mystic shining feed...
well, the madcap laughed at the man on the border
hey, ho, huff the talbot
cheat! he cried, shouted kangaroo
it s true in their tree he cried
please leave us here
close our eyes to the Octopus ride
Instrumental passage:
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
the winds they blew and the leaves did wag
and 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 will never meet
so merrily trip for good my side
please leave us here
close our eyes to the Octopus ride
