[Verse 1] FmCm Come along, catch a Heffalump, FmCm Sit with me on a muddy clump, FmGFmCm We'll sing a song of days gone by.
FmCm Run along now, don’t be glum, FmCm Get you gone, now, have some fun, FmGFmCm Don't be long, for the end is nigh.
FmEbFmEb Don't let moments pass along FmEbG And waste before your eyes;
FmCm March with me and the borogoves, FmCm Come with me and the slithy toves, FmGCm And never ask us why.
[Chorus] AbCm Come, come, come, come, come along now, AbCm Run away from the hum-drum, AbCm We'll go to a place that is safe from GCm Greed, anger and boredom. AbCm We'll dance and sing till sundown, AbCm And feast with abandon, AbCm We'll sleep when the morning comes, GCm And we'll rise by the sound of the birdsongs.
[Verse 2] FmCm We'll be here when the world slows down, FmCm And the sunbeams fade away, FmCm Keeping time by a pendulum FmCm As the fabric starts to fray.
FmEbFmEb There’s no such thing as time to kill, FmEbG Nor time to throw away, CmFmCmFm So, once for the bright sky, twice for the pig sty, CmFmG Thrice for another day.
[Chorus] AbCm Come, come, come, come, come along now, AbCm Run away from the hum-drum, AbCm We'll go to a place that is safe from GCm Greed, anger and boredom. AbCm We'll dance and sing till sundown, AbCm And feast with abandon, AbCm We'll sleep when the morning comes, GCm And we'll rise by the sound of the birdsongs.
[Instrumental] FmCm (x4)
[Verse 3] FmCm Come with me, catch a rare type specimen, FmCm Cuddle up with a hesitant skeleton, FmGFmCm We'll break our fast with friends.
FmCm Once we're fed, we shall disappear rapidly, FmCm Many moons to the west of here and happily, FmGFmCm Our journey never ends.
FmEbFmEb Shut your ears when sirens sing, FmEbG Tie armbands to your feet;
FmCm Listen up and you won't go wrong again, FmCm Float along on a verse-less song and then, FmGFmCm Get to where the two ends meet.
[Chorus] AbCm Come, come, come, come, come along now, AbCm Run away from the hum-drum, AbCm We'll go to a place that is safe from GCm Greed, anger and boredom. AbCm We'll dance and sing till sundown, AbCm And feast with abandon, AbCm We'll sleep when the morning comes, GCm And we'll rise by the sound of the birdsongs.
