Busy

I think I am a Muffin Man. I haven't got a 
       bell,
I haven't got the muffin things that muffin people 
       sell.

Perhaps I am a Postman. No, I think I am a 
       Tram.
I'm feeling rather funny and I don't know what I 
       am —

               BUT
Round about
And round about
And round about I go —
All round the table,
The table in the nursery —

Round about
And round about
And round about I go:

I think I am a Traveller escaping from a Bear;
I think I am an Elephant,
Behind another Elephant,
Behind another Elephant who isn't really there. . . .              
              
                                    SO
Round about
And round about
And round about and round about
And round about
And round about
       I go.

I think I am a Ticket Man who's selling tickets —
       please,

I think I am a Doctor who is visiting a Sneeze;

Perhaps I'm just a Nanny who is walking with a 
       pram
I'm feeling rather funny and I don't know what I 
       am —

               BUT
Round about
And round about
And round about I go —
All round the table,
The table in the nursery —
Round about
And round about
And round about I go.

I think I am a Puppy, so I'm hanging out my 
       tongue;

I think I am a Camel who
Is looking for a Camel who
Is looking for a Camel who is looking for its 
       Young. . . .

               SO
Round about
And round about
And round about and round about
And round about
And round about
       I go.
