Poppies

Long, long ago
In China, I'm told
To England was traded some tea

And so sealed the fate
In pieces of eight
All England and all of the world
Yeah

Poppies

When soon His Majesty
Sent soldiers and thieves
To India searching for gold

Instead, from the ground
Some magic they found
Of something far better I'm told
Yeah

Poppies
Yeah

Poppies

And now this story told
From days of our old
When gossamer doggies ran, ran

They patiently wait
With pieces of eight
So everybody could smile
One more time

Poppies
Yeah

Poppies
