Long long ago in China
|
I'm told
|
To England was traded
|
Some tea
|
And so sealed the fate
|
In pieces of eight
|
All England and all of the world
|
Yeah...poppies
|
When soon his majesty
|
Sent soldiers and thieves
|
To India searching for gold
|
Instead from the ground
|
Some magic they found
|
Something far better I'm told
|
Yeah...poppies
|
Yeah...poppies
|
|
And now this story told
|
From days of our own
|
When gossamer doggies
|
Ran ran
|
They'd patiently wait
|
With pieces of eight
|
So everybody could smile
|
Yeah...poppies
|
Yeah...poppies
|
