Everybody took everything that they could
|
And they made a little town out of stones and out of wood,
|
And they made a little king out of plasticine,
|
And they threw the rules away but they kept the wisdom in.
|
And all the birds and the bees lived so peacefully
|
And all of the babies they slept so, so gently until...
|
|
Little Red, Little Red, Little Red, Little Red, Little Red, Little Red, Little Red, Little Red.
|
Little Red, Little Red, Little Red, Little Red Little, Little Red came knocking.
|
|
Little garden, how do I make your flowers grow,
|
When I already do everything that I know?
|
I bring you sunshine and I bring you rain but still you refrain.
|
All the other gardens are so full of flowers.
|
They're so colouful, yet, I spend all these hours
|
Trying to make you as beautful as them but sti-i-i-il you refrain.
|
|
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, scratch.
|
and a Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, scratch
|
And a knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, scra-a-atch.
|
And a knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, scra-a-a-atch.
|
|
Little girl, why are you crying,
|
Just because the flowers in your garden are dying?
|
There's so much that you could be doing,
|
And all of your neighbours,
|
Well, they haven't got a clue.
|
Oh, come on with me, we'll have a little fun,
|
It's not too dangerous, and we won't hurt anyone.
|
Yeah, we'll cause some havoc between the birds and the bees, yeah
|
We'll paint the town red and we'll shake the trees.
|
Oh, come on with me and I'll show you a good time,
|
All you have to do is a jump and a climb.
|
Yeah, I'll take you over to the other side of town.
|
Where there's so much to do there and everybody wears a crown.
|
|
Should I go or should I stay?
|
My flowers are dying and I'm sick and tired anyway.
|
This boy seems kind of cool,
|
His jeans are kind of low,
|
Well, I think I'll go.
|
|
Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, climb.
|
And a jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, junp, jump, jump, climb.
|
And a jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, cimb.
|
And a jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, climb.
|
|
Oh let's pack a picnic and we'll go for a drive.
|
We'll go to a funfair and go on all the rides.
|
We'll climb up a mountain and we'll take in the sites.
|
We'll jump in a plane and fly.
|
|
If you want you can come back to mine.
|
We'll drink some coffee and you can spend the night.
|
We'll do anything that makes you smile
|
'Cause your smile is beautiful and it makes me happy.
|
'Cause your smile is beautiful and it makes me happy.
|
|
This little girl grew up and moved away.
|
And she, she lived her life full of risk and full of play.
|
And she, she lived her life with so much to say,
|
And her flowers, they grow more beautiful every day.
