Hey ** don't you know I've got a stitch for you to sow Call me in the morning I'll be out of bed Oh yes, "You can never get too much rest!" Half a day working at the circus How about we juggle an English breakfast, side of French Toast Tie my lace and tighten my waist I'd hate to have to save face, before the birds have barked I can't wait to see you next evening You know I might jump off the swing early Hit the ground running so you won't see me coming Well anyway I've ruined the surprise now haven't I But anyhow hey ** it was wishful thinking I'll still step-stone through the snow And you know it'll melt like it always does

I'd Rather Be With You Than Feeling Blue (Who Wouldn't)
Hey ** don't you know I've got a stitch for you to sow Call me in the morning I'll be out of bed Oh yes, "You can never get too much rest!" Half a day working at the circus How about we juggle an English breakfast, side of French Toast Tie my lace and tighten my waist I'd hate to have to save face, before the birds have barked I can't wait to see you next evening You know I might jump off the swing early Hit the ground running so you won't see me coming Well anyway I've ruined the surprise now haven't I But anyhow hey ** it was wishful thinking I'll still step-stone through the snow And you know it'll melt like it always does
This is me doing my best (well, the first time I've tried) to write lyrics like Syd Barrett. By the way it's supposed to be recited like a nursery rhyme would, it doesn't sound right if you don't make it a right old song and dance kind of tune. It could be longer but I'm going to bed so I'll just post it as it is.
