[Cosmo Sheldrake]:
Come along, catch a Heffalump
Sit with me on a muddy clump
We'll sing a song of days gone by
[Cosmo Sheldrake]:
Run along now, don’t be glum
Get you gone, now, have some fun
Don't be long, for the end is nigh
[Cosmo Sheldrake]:
Don't let moments pass along
And waste before your eyes
[Cosmo Sheldrake]:
March with me and the borogoves
Come with me and the slithy toves
And never ask us why
[Cosmo Sheldrake]:
Come, come, come, come, come along now
Run away from the hum-drum
We'll go to a place that is safe from
Greed, anger and boredom
[Cosmo Sheldrake]:
We'll dance and sing till sundown
And feast with abandon
We'll sleep when the morning comes
And we'll rise by the sound of the birdsongs
[Cosmo Sheldrake]:
We'll be here when the world slows down
And the sunbeams fade away
Keeping time by a pendulum
As the fabric starts to fray
[Cosmo Sheldrake]:
There’s no such thing as time to kill
Nor time to throw away
So, once for the bright sky, twice for the pig sty
Thrice for another day
[Cosmo Sheldrake]:
Come, come, come, come, come along now
Run away from the hum-drum
We'll go to a place that is safe from
Greed, anger and boredom
[Cosmo Sheldrake]:
We'll dance and sing till sundown
And feast with abandon
We'll sleep when the morning comes
And we'll rise by the sound of the birdsongs
[Cosmo Sheldrake]:
Come with me, catch a rare type specimen
Cuddle up with a hesitant skeleton
We'll break our fast with friends
[Cosmo Sheldrake]:
Once we're fed, we shall disappear rapidly
Many moons to the west of here and happily
Our journey never ends
[Cosmo Sheldrake]:
Shut your ears when sirens sing
Tie armbands to your feet
[Cosmo Sheldrake]:
Listen up and you won't go wrong again
Float along on a verse-less song and then
Get to where the two ends meet
[Cosmo Sheldrake]:
Come, come, come, come, come along now
Run away from the hum-drum
We'll go to a place that is safe from
Greed, anger and boredom
[Cosmo Sheldrake]:
We'll dance and sing till sundown
And feast with abandon
We'll sleep when the morning comes
And we'll rise by the sound of the birdsongs
