Natalie Merchant Calico Pie lyrics

(*Edward Lear)
[** Disc 1:]


Calico Pie*
The little Bird fly
Down to the calico tree,
Their wings were blue,
Singing 'Tilly-Tilly-loo!'
Till away they flew, -
But they never came back to me!

Calico Jam,
The little Fish swam,
Over the syllabub sea,
He took off his hat,
To the Sole and the Sprat,
And the Willeby-Wat, -
But he never came back to me!
He never came back never came back,
He never came he never came back to me.
He never came back never came back,
He never came he never came back to me.
Oh he never came back

Calico Ban,
The little Mice ran,
To be ready in time for tea,
Flippity flup,
They drank it all up,
And danced in the cup, -
But they never came back to me!


Well, He never came back never came back,
He never came he never came back to me.
He never came back never came back,
He never came he never came back to me.
Oh he never came back

Calico Drum,
The Grasshoppers come,
The Butterfly, Beetle, and Bee,
Over the ground,
Around and around,
With a hop and a bound, -
But they never came back to me!

OH He never came back never came back,
He never came he never came back to me.
He never came back never came back,
He never came he never came back to me.
He never came back never came back,
He never came he never came back to me.
He never came back never came back,
He never came he never came back to me.
He never came back never came back,
He never came he never came back to me.
He never came back never came back,
He never came he never came back to me.

Oh he never came back
