Tidal Wave

A foot in the street & a foo in the gutter -

that's on foot in the morning rain -

Just round the corner, a hole full of water,

and hot dog!, it's a holiday!

Splish splash in a pool of puddle,

don't trip up on a tidal wave -

you'll crash in a murky muddle…

Then you'll know how it feels

To know you're not real.

Went for a walk and I climbed up a tower -

it seemed like a thousand years

til I reached the top - oh, and I picked a flower

that grew through the stratosphere!

Drop down to a cloud or jetstream

don't trip up on a weathervane -

you'll drown in a world or wet dream…

Then you'll know how it feels

To know you're not real.

I wrote a letter and I gave it to Jenny -

I hoped for some return.

Next time I saw her she gave me a penny

wrapped up in a gummy worm -

Run round in a field or meadow -

don't trip up on a sugarcane -

Fall down in a lazy shadow…

Then you'll know how it feels

To know you're not real.
