One buddleia day in the morning's prime saw butterflies four sorts and kind A feline in stripes took to the air and for all his balletic Nureyev flair a Peacock Blue landed upon my hair placed like a precious like a precious Ribbon First the Blackbird and then the Pigeon in turns sang solo through the leaves stowed on branches in between stowed on branches in between Joining the chorus announcing an egg a yoke yellow legged Rhode Island Red Joining the chorus announcing an egg a yoke yellow legged Rhode Island Red <♪> And beaded cobwebs on lollypop trees hid lengthening chains spun out on the breeze The sea fret that threatened to creep to my feet it do si do'd in sideways retreat as the wind stole in and took the sweat from my skin To the last syllable of recorded time by clockwork this hour is mine Had I not stepped short would none of this be Forever this hour belongs to me Forever this hour belongs to me Joining the chorus announcing an egg a yoke yellow legged Rhode Island Red Joining the chorus announcing an egg a yoke yellow legged Rhode Island Red
