Goosey Goosey Lyrics - Xtc

Hey goosey goosey 

I believe it's for having fun 

Hey goosey goosey 

I believe it's for everyone. 

One red morning 

With no warning 

Life comes crashing in 

To wake you early with its golden din. 

One blue evening 

Cruelly leaving 

It goes breezing out 

The very second that you figure it out 

What it's all for. 

Everybody has a magic lantern 

Everybody has an inner eye 

Everybody has a magic carpet 

Seems a shame if you don't let it fly 

Tell you why 

Hey goosey goosey 

Some bright daytime 

Worker's playtime 

You get country-bound 

Pick your girl up 

Throw your oil-can down 

Some dark nighttime 

Final frighttime 

As the reaper knocks 

The wisdom of the ancients in a box 

But it's too late 

Everybody has a magic lantern 

Hey goosey goosey 

Yes I do 

Goosey goosey gander 

Wither do you wander?
