Stackridge - Pinafore Days lyrics

Mugs and bu*tercups the dancing crinoline Inside a picture book of a sky The frantic bu*terflies their colours hypnotise The crusty baker making his pies Thieves and scallywags, The mighty morris men outside a window pane in the sun A bell strikes One O'clock Put on your summer frock The last fandango's first to be done I was painting rhymes Sketching phantoms drawn from the years Tell me the truth Where are those Pinafore Days I knew? Spats and Gollywogs, Outlandish acrobats Beside a jumble sale in the wind The bouncing dicky birds are really lost for words The copper kettle's trying to sing I was painting ruins Sketching phantoms drawn from the years Tell me the truth Where are those Pinafore Days I knew?
