Cosmo SheldrakeCome Along

come along, catch a heffalump
sit with me on a muddy clump
we'll sing a song of days gone by
run along now, don't be glum
get you gone, now, have some fun
don't be long, for the end is nigh
don't let moments pass along
and waste before your eyes
march with me and the borogoves
come with me and the slithy toves
and never ask us why
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
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
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
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
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
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
come with me, catch a rare type specimen
cuddle up with a hesitant skeleton
we'll break our fast with friends
once we're fed, we shall disappear rapidly
many moons to the west of here and happily
our journey never ends
shut your ears when sirens sing
tie armbands to your feet
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
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
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
