Lyrics

[00:08.259] There was a boy whose name was Jim
[00:12.555] His friends, they were very good to him
[00:16.888] They gave him tea, and cakes and jam
[00:21.101] And slices of delicious ham
[00:25.305] Oh Mother tell me more
[00:35.862] Why'd'you have to leave me there
[00:37.662] Hanging in my infant air, waiting
[00:43.568] You only have to read the lines of
[00:45.994] Scribbly black and everything shines
[00:51.520] The chief defect of Henry King
[00:55.540] Was chewing little bits of string
[00:59.464] At last he swallowed some which tied
[01:03.426] Itself in ugly knots inside
[01:07.499] Wondering and dreaming
[01:11.632] The words have different meanings
[01:17.596] Yes they did
[01:55.124] Finding she was left alone
[01:56.873] Went tiptoe to the telephone, 999
[02:02.881] Summoned the immediate aid
[02:04.605] Of London's Noble Fire Brigade
[02:10.560] For all the time spent in that room
[02:14.217] The doll's house darkness old perfume
[02:18.273] And fairy stories held me high
[02:21.875] On clouds of sunlight floating by
[02:25.838] Oh Mother tell me more
[02:35.631] Tell me more
[02:46.143]
