3. Itchycoo Park
Over bridge of sighs To rest my eyes in shades of green Under dreaming spires To Itchycoo Park, that's where I've been I got high (What did you feel there?) well, I cried (But why the tears there?) 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 I'll 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? we'll get high (What will we touch there?) we'll touch the sky (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 nice and have fun in the sun It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful, hah It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful
