Lyrics

[Verse 1] There was a boy whose name was Jim His friends, they were very good to him They gave him tea, and cakes and jam And slices of delicious ham [Hook] Oh, Mother Tell me more [Bridge] Why'd'ya have to leave me there Hanging in my infant air, waiting You only have to read the lines of Scribbly black and everything shines [Verse 2] The chief defect of Henry King Was chewing little bits of string At last he swallowed some which tied Itself in ugly knots inside [Hook] Wandering and dreaming The words have different meanings Yes they did [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] In finding she was left alone Went tiptoe to the telephone, 999 And summoned the immediate aid Of London's Noble Fire Brigade [Verse 4] For all the time spent in that room The doll's house darkness old perfume And fairy stories held me high On clouds of sunlight floating by [Hook] Oh, Mother Tell me more Tell me more [Outro] Aaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaah
