Verse
B       E7        G         C7
Trip to heave and ho, up down, to and fro
A
You have no word
B                  A
Trip, trip to a dream dragon
B                     A
Hide your wings in a ghost tower
B                      A
Sails cackling at every plate we break
B                         A#
What was cracked by scattered needles
A
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
                             F#7
And the tune they play is "In Us Confide"
B           E7       G            C7
So trip to heave and ho, up down, to and fro
A
You have no word
Chorus
F#             B
Please leave us here
F#         B           B7       E
Close our eyes to the octopus ride!
Verse
E         F          F#      G
Isn't it good to be lost in the wood
G
Isn't it bad so quiet there, in the wood
A                          D
Meant even less to me than I thought
A                          D
With a honey plow of yellow prickly seeds
A                          D      F#7
Clover honey pots and mystic shining feed
B                               E7
Well the madcap laughed at the man on the border
G                C7
Hey, ho, huff the Talbot
B                      A
Cheat he cried shouting kangaroo
B                         A
So true in their tree they cried
Chorus
F#            B
Please leave us here
F#          B           B7      E
Close our eyes to the octopus ride!

Verse
B                          A
The madcap laughed at the man on the border
B               A
Hey ho, huff the Talbot
B                           A
The winds they blew and the leaves did wag
B                           A
But they'll never put me in their bag
The seas will reach and always see
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 forgo my side
Chorus
F#             B

F#         B           B7      E
Close our eyes to the octopus ride!
