Make-believe town


In make-believe town,
In make-believe town,
In make-believe town,
Oh, yes,

In make-believe town,
Oh, make-believe town,
Oh, make-believe town
Is a mess

Its a mess because all the animals walk,
Its a mess because they all draw with chalk,
Its a mess because all the hunting hounds...

Chorus:
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
But thats in animal make-believe town.

Well the monkey who lives
In make-believe town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the veranda
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea

He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...

(chorus)

Well the elephant lives
In make-believe town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because theyre all covered with jam

He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...

(chorus)

Well the magician who lives
In make-believe town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook

He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds...

(chorus)

Well the children that live
In make-believe town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree

They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...

(chorus)

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics MAKE-BELIEVE TOWN of PETER, PAUL & MARY is also present in the album Peter, paul and mommy (1969)

Biografia

Peter, Paul and Mary is an American folk music trio formed in 1960 in New York City. Composed of Peter Yarrow, Paul Stookey, and Mary Travers, the group rose to fame in the 1960s for their folk-rock music, often featuring politically and socially conscious lyrics. Among their most notable hits are "If I Had a Hammer", "Blowin' in the Wind" (a cover of Bob Dylan), and "Leaving on a Jet Plane". Peter, Paul and Mary participated in numerous events for the American civil rights movement, such as the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963. Their musical style influenced generations of folk and rock artists, contributing to the spread of folk music throughout the United States and the world. After a hiatus in the 1970s, the group reunited on several occasions for concerts and recordings until 2018, when Mary Travers passed away.
