Busy

I think I am a Muffin Man. I haven't got a bell,
I haven't got the muffin things that muffin people sell.

Perhaps I am a Postman. No, I think I am a Tram.
I'm feeling rather funny and I don't know what I am —

BUT

Round about
And round about
And round about I go —
All round the table,
The table in the nursery —

Round about
And round about
And round about I go:
I think I am a Traveller escaping from a Bear;

I think I am an Elephant,
Behind another Elephant,
Behind another Elephant who isn't really there. . . .

SO

Round about
And round about
And round about and round about
And round about
And round about
I go.

I think I am a Ticket Man who's selling tickets-please,

I think I am a Doctor who is visiting a Sneeze;

Perhaps I'm just a Nanny who is walking with a pram
I'm feeling rather funny and I don't know what I am —

BUT

Round about
And round about
And round about I go —
All round the table,
The table in the nursery —
And round about
And round about I go.

I think I am a Puppy, so I'm hanging out my tongue;

I think I am a Camel who
Is looking for a Camel who
Is looking for a Camel who is looking for its Young. . . .

SO

Round about
And round about
And round about and round about
And round about
And round about
I go.
