Lyrics Nellie McKay

Nellie McKay

Itchycoo Park

Over bridge of sighs

To rest my eyes in shades of green

Under dreaming spires

To Itchycoo park, that's where I'll be

(What did you do there?)

I got high

(What did you feel there?)

Well, I cried

(But why the tears there?)

Tell you why

It's all too beautiful

It's all too beautiful

It's all too beautiful

It's all too beautiful

I feel inclined

To blow my mind

Get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun

They all come out

To groove about

Be nice and have fun in the sun

Tell you what I'll do

(What will you do?)

I'd like to go there now with you

You can miss out school

(Won't that be cool?)

Why go to learn the words of fools?

(What will we do there?)

We'll get high

(What will we touch there?)

We'll touch the sky

(But why the tears there?)

Tell you why

It's all too beautiful

It's all too beautiful

It's all too beautiful

It's all too beautiful

I feel inclined

To blow my mind

Get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun

They all come out

To groove about

Be nice and have fun in the sun

It's all too beautiful

It's all too beautiful

It's all too beautiful

(Hah!)

It's all too beautiful

It's all too beautiful

It's all too beautiful

It's all too beautiful

It's all too beautiful

It's all too beautiful

It's all too beautiful

It's all too beautiful

It's all too beautiful

It's all too beautiful

It's all too beautiful

It's all too beautiful

(It's all too beautiful)
