There Is A Happy Land - David Bowie

There is a happy land where only children live

They don’t have the time to learn the ways

Of you sir, Mr. Grownup

There’s a special place in the rhubarb fields underneath the leaves

It’s a secret place and adults aren’t allowed there, Mr. Grownup

Go away, sir

Charlie Brown got’s half a crown, he’s gonna buy a kite

Jimmy’s ill with chicken pox, and Tommy’s learned to ride his bike

Tiny Tim sings prayers and hymns, he’s so small we don’t notice him

He gets in the way but we always let him play with us Mother calls, but we don’t hear

There’s lots more things to do It’s only 5 o’clock, and we’re not tired yet

But we will be, very shortly

Sissy Steven plays with girls, someone made him cry

Tony climbed a tree and fell, trying hard to touch the sky

Tommy lit a fire one day, nearly burned the field away

Tommy’s mum found out, but he put the blame on me and Ray

There is a happy land where only children live

You’ve had your chance and now the doors are closed sir, Mr. Grownup

Go away, sir

Boo, boo, boo, boo doop …
