Julian Lennon - The Escapade текст песни

Mike batt

Narration: there was one who was famed for the number of things

He forgot when he entered the ship:

His umbrella, his watch, all his jewels and rings,

And the clothes he had bought for the trip.

He had forty-tow boxes all carefully packed,

With his name painted clearly on each;

But since he omitted to mention the fact,

They were all left behind on the beach.

He came as a baker; but owned, when too late-

And it drove the poor bellman half mad-

He could only bake bridecake -for which, I may state,

No materials were to be had.

I came as the baker on this escapade,

I knead the dough, but I cant look after the bread,

The banker does it instead,

And although I never feel afraid,

Somehow I know

It could be the single worst mistake Ive ever made,

To come as the baker on this escapade.
