Poppies

Poppies

Long long ago in China

I`m told

To England was traded

some tea

And so sealed the fate

In pieces of eight

All England and all of the

world

Yeah...poppies

When soon his majesty

sent soldiers and thieves

To India searching for gold

Instead from the ground

Some magic they found

Something far better I`mtold

Yeah...poppies

Yeah...poppies

And nlow the story told

from days of our own

When gossamer doggies

ran ran

They`d patiently wait

With pieces of eight

So everybody could smile

one more time

Yeah...poppies

Yeah...poppies
