Itchycoo Park - Nellie McKay

Over bridge of sighs

To rest my eyes in shades of green

Under dreamin' spires

To Itchycoo Park, that’s where I’ve been

What did you do there?

I got high

What did you feel there?

Well I cried

But why the tears there?

I’ll tell you why

It’s all too beautiful

It’s all too beautiful

It’s all too beautiful

It’s all too beautiful

I feel inclined to blow my mind

Get hung up feed the ducks with a bun

They all come out to groove about

Be niceand have fun in the sun

Tell you what I’ll do (what will you do?)

I’d like to go there now with you

You can miss out school (won't that be cool)

Why go to learn the words of fools?

What will we do there?

We’ll get high

What will we touch there?

We’ll touch the sky

But why the tears then?

I’ll tell you why

It’s all too beautiful

It’s all too beautiful

It’s all too beautiful

It’s all too beautiful

I feel inclined to blow my mind

Get hung up feed the ducks with a bun

They all come out to groove about

Be nice and have fun in the sun

It’s all too beautiful

It’s all too beautiful

It’s all too beautiful

Ha!

It’s all too beautiful
