There Is a Happy Land [Bowie]

There is a happy land where only children live
They don't have the time to learn the ways of you, Sir
Mr. Grown-up

There's a special place in the rhubarb fields underneath the leaves
It's a secret place and adults aren't allowed there
Mr. Grown-up

Go away, Sir

Charlie Brown's got 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 five 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 burnt the field away
Tommy's mom 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. Grown-up

Go away, Sir
