ceeeeer-tainly the children have seen them

in qui-et places where the moss grows gre-en

coloured shells jangle together

the wind is cold the year is old the trees whisper together

and bend in the wind they lean

next week a monkey is coming to stay

If I was a witches hat

sitting on her head like a paraffin stove

I'd fly away and be a bat

across the air I would rove

stepping like a tightrope walker

putting one foot after another

wearing black cherries for rings

just strum a d minor and "la la la" for the rest of the song
