Oh tell me the marvels you saw on your rambles
Tell me the marvels you saw on your rambles
Tell me the marvels you saw on your rambles
Tell me the marvels you saw on your rambles
I saw a calabash in Alberimo
Flamini cow dressed in yellow
Bluebells in the high pass of Brenner
And Edelweiss in old Vienna
Tesserae in Moraveno
And fiddle bows in high Cremona
ย
Oh tell me the evils you saw on your rambles
Tell me the evils you saw on your rambles
Tell me the evils you saw on your rambles
Tell me the evils you saw on your rambles
I saw a weeping doll, from ever drowning
A maid in Bedlam, ever frowning
A lisping sybil, ever lying
A man in prison, ever dying
ย
Oh tell me the heroes you saw on your rambles
Tell me the heroes you saw on your rambles
Tell me the heroes you saw on your rambles
Tell me the heroes you saw on your rambles
I saw both lewd, long handed and bold Alexander
Laid, long handed and bold Alexander
Singing the new song with all the answers
Aspiring to propaganda
ย
And it went something like this
ย
One blasphemous mass on the lips of a bishop
Two treacherous tracts on the doors of a church
Three rancorous rants on the lips of a bigot
Four dangerous dances in woodland of birch
Five languorous glances from dancer to dancer
Six cancerous marks on the flanks of a chancer
And seven living lavados, seven living lavados
And eight are the questions without any answers
ย
And nine is the shining moon
Oh the shining moon is nine nine nine
Nine is the shining moon
Oh the shining moon is nine nine nine
Nine is the shining moon
Oh the shining moon is nine nine nine
Nine is the shining moon
Oh the shining moon is nine nine nine
Nine is the shining moon
Oh the shining moon is nine nine nine
Nine is the shining moon
Oh the shining moon is nine nine nine
Nine is the shining moon
Oh the shining moon is nine nine nine
