B       E7            G         C7                       A 
Trip to heave and ho, up, down, to and fro', you have no word 
B               A 
trip, trip to a dream dragon 
B                    A 
hide your wings in a ghost tower  
B                 A                 B 
sails cackling at every plate we brake 
B                                Bb 
was cracked by scattered needles 
A 
the little minute gong coughs and clears his throat 
A 
madam you see before you stand, hey, ho, never be still 
A 
the old original favorite grand grasshoppers green Herbarian band 
A                                   F#7 
and the tune they play is "In us Confide"

E F F# G 
       Isn't it good to be lost in the wood 
G                                        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 plough 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, shouted kangaroo 
     B                     A 
it's true in their tree he cried 
F#              B 
please leave us here

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 
and they'll never put me in their bag 
    B                A 
the raging seas will always seep 
   B               A 
so high you go, so low you creep 
    B                A 
the wind it blows in tropical heat 
    B                     A 
the drones they throng on mossy seats 
    B                   A 
the squeaking door will always squeak 
    B                 A 
two up, two down will never meet 
   B                A 
so merrily trip for good my side 

F#              B 
please leave us here 
F#        B           B7      E 
close our eyes to the Octopus ride
