Poppies
Marcy Playground

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

Something far better I'm told

Yeah, poppies

Yeah, poppies

And now this story told from days of our own

When gossamer doggies ran ran

They'd patiently wait

With pieces of eight

So everybody could smile one more time

Yeah, poppies

Yeah, poppies
