Goosey Goosey Lyrics
Xtc
Hey goosey goosey
I believe its for having fun
Hey goosey goosey
I believe its for everyone.
One red morning
With no warning
Life comes crashing in
To wake you early with its golden din.
One blue evening
Cruelly leaving
It goes breezing out
The very second that you figure it out
What its all for.
Everybody has a magic lantern
Everybody has an inner eye
Everybody has a magic carpet
Seems a shame if you dont let it fly
Tell you why
Hey goosey goosey...
Some bright daytime
Workers playtime
You get country-bound
Pick your girl up
So youre all pinned down
Some dark nighttime
Final frighttime
As the reaper knocks
The wisdom of the ancients in a box
But its too late
Everybody has a magic lantern...
Hey goosey goosey...
Yes I do
