Calico Pie - Natalie Merchant

Calico Pie

The little Birds fly

Down to the calico tree

Their wings were blue

And they sang 'Tilly-loo '

Till away they flew

And 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

He never came back

He never came back to me

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

They never came back

They never came back

They never came back to me

Calico Drum

The Grasshoppers come

The B_tterfly Beetle and Bee

Over the ground

Around and around

With a hop and a bound

But they never came back to me

They never came back

They never came back

They never came back to me
