Trip to heave and ho, up down, to and froYou have no wordTrip, trip to a dream dragonHide your wings in a ghost towerSails crackiling at ev'ry plate we breakCracked by scattered needlesLittle minute gongCoughs and clears his throatMadam you see before you standHey ho, never be stillThe old original favourite granGrasshoppers green herbarian bandAnd the tune they play in us confide...So trip to heave and ho, up down, to and fro'You have no wordPlease leave us hereClose our eyes to the octopus ride!Isn't it good to be lost in the woodIsn't it bad so quiet there, in the woodTwenty even less to me than I thoughtWith a honey plough of yellow prickly seedsClover honey pots and mystic shining feed...Well, the madcap laughed at the man on the borderHey ho, huff the talbotCheetah he cried shouted kangarooSo through their tree they criedPlease leave us hereClose our eyes to the octopus ride!The madcap laughed at the man on the borderHey ho, huff the talbotThe winds they blew and the leaves did wagAnd they'll never put me in their bagThe seas will reach and always seeSo high you go, so low you creepThe winds it blows in tropical heatThe drones they throng on mossy seatsThe squeaking door will always creepTwo up, two down we'll never meetSo merrily trip for good my sidePlease leave us hereClose our eyes to the octopus ride!
