Donovan - Museum / 1967

Donovan - Museum


Versuri/text:

I drink sweet wine for breakfast
I slept 'bout an hour or so
I smiled a little in the silence
Deciding on where to go
"Meet me under the whale
In the Natural History Museum"
I think that's what she said
A little sad having to go there

Yawning in the sun
Like a child I run
But don't do it if you don't want to
I wouldn't do a thing like that

A-blue is a pretty colour
The sky's so very large
Our love it is a liquid sunshine
So drink up all you can
Our last dream's of the time
The queen soldiers know where it's at
The flowers even sing
Where our friend the caterpillar sat

Don't you think it's time
To use some of your mind
But don't do it if you don't want to
I wouldn't do a thing like that

How little do you speak of beauty
Isn't it a shame, what ho
Maybe you should get a power ring
And make all your troubles go
There she stood in drag
Just a-looking cool in astrakhan
She's looking so wiped out
And she said I looked like Peter Pan

Yawning in the sun
Like a child I run
But don't do it if you don't want to
I wouldn't do a thing like that, don't do it
Don't do it if you don't want to
I wouldn't do a thing like that, oh, no, no
Don't do it if you don't want to

Do you hear what I'm singing, yeah, yeah, hey, hey
Do you hear what I'm singing, yeah, yeah...
