I Saw a Monkey and a Bear
As
I walked out by the light of a star,
by
the light of a star walked I,
my
duck rolled fast on cotton reel wheels
and
a monkey came running by.
A
monkey came running by, my friend,
and
my duck rolled on cotton reel wheels;
the
monkey was pulling a teddy bear
by
the hand, over starlit fields.
Hand
in hand, over starlit fields, my friend,
the
monkey and the bear came past,
and
I thought, by the light of a twinkling star,
that
my childhood would always last.
That
my childhood would always last, my friend,
like
the words of a favourite song;
but
the monkey fled over the hill with the bear
and,
by the light of a star, they were gone,
by
the light of a twinkling star, they were gone. |
