You have no word

Trip, trip to a dream dragon

Hide your wings in a ghost tower
H A H
Sails cackling at every plate we break

The little minute gong

Coughs and clears his throat

Madam you see before you stand

Hey ho, never be still

3. The mad cat laughed at the man on the border
H A
Hey ho, huff the Talbot
H A
The winds they blew and the leaves did wag
H A
And they'll never put me in their bag
H A
The aging seas will reach and always seep
H A
So high you go, so low you creep
H A
The wind it blows in tropical heat
H A
The drones they throng on mossy seats
H A
The squeaking door will always squeak
H A
Two up, two down we'll never meet
H A
So merrily trip good my side
