VerseBE7GC7
Trip to heave and ho, up down, to and fro
A
You have no word
BA
Trip, trip to a dream dragon
BA
Hide your wings in a ghost tower
BA
Sails cackling at every plate we break
BA#
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"
BE7GC7
So trip to heave and ho, up down, to and fro
A
You have no word
ChorusF#B
Please leave us here
F#BB7E
Close our eyes to the octopus ride!
VerseEFF#G
Isn't it good to be lost in the wood
G
Isn't it bad so quiet there, in the wood
AD
Meant even less to me than I thought
AD
With a honey plow of yellow prickly seeds
ADF#7
Clover honey pots and mystic shining feed
BE7
Well the madcap laughed at the man on the border
GC7
Hey, ho, huff the Talbot
BA
Cheat he cried shouting kangaroo
BA
So true in their tree they cried
ChorusF#B
Please leave us here
F#BB7E
Close our eyes to the octopus ride!

VerseBA
The madcap laughed at the man on the border
BA
Hey ho, huff the Talbot
BA
The winds they blew and the leaves did wag
BA
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
ChorusF#B
Please leave us here
F#BB7E
Close our eyes to the octopus ride!
