lyrics

It was Pen-e-lope’s cantaloupe ridin’ on the back of a bison,
Runnin’ in a herd of forty seven bison,
Coming down from the tip of the mountain,

Hooray for the Flicker bird, picked off a cedar bug,
Runnin’ from the hand of the oven mitt squisher in the sun shine,
Rodeo me oh my! Radio apple pie

Living up the lease of the days,
When runnin’ with the herd was a herd run run-around,
Runnin’ hilly plains,
Cinnamon in the stains,
Wind in the grain,
Turn the page, turn the page…

Cantaloupe rolly pole rolled up a telly pole,
188 hooves rumbled in the rail-yard rainbow,
Tent shack caravan pitched on the borders of
Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan,
Take it back home to the town of Athelstan,

Living up the lease of the days,
When runnin’ with the herd was a herd run run-around,
Runnin’ hilly plains,
Cinnamon in the stains,
Stars in the brain,
Feelings in the rain,
Wind in the grain,
Turn the page…

Oh… on the back of a bison Pen-e-lope’s cantaloupe,
Runnin’ in a herd of four thousand bison,
Coming down the tip of the tip top mountain,

Hooray for the cedar bug runnin’ from the hand,
Of the squisher in the mist to the sunshine,
Tin top to the drip drop drips in the run down rainforest rainbow sun dog,

Cantaloupe rolly pole swinging from the telly-pole,
Eighty-seven people love their lives,
Love their livers, the livers of their life, Rolly polly rumble doh!

Living up the lease of the days,
When runnin’ with the herd was a herd run run-around,
Runnin’ hilly plains,
Cinnamon in the stains,
Stars in the brain,
Feelings in the rain,
Wind in the grain,
Stars in the brain
