(Pye NPL 200000) 1968
The continent of Atlantis was an island which lay before the great flood
in the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.
So great an area of land, that from her western shores
those beautiful sailors journeyed to the South and the North Americas with
ease,
in their ships with painted sails.
To the East Africa was a neighbour, across a short strait of sea miles.
The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of The Atlantian culture.
The antediluvian kings colonised the world
All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas
In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis.
Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth.
On board were the Twelve:
The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist,
The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends.
Though Gods they were -
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new
Hail Atlantis!
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be.
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be.
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
I wanna see you some day
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
My antediluvian baby,
My antediluvian baby, I love you, girl,
Girl, I wanna see you some day.
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah
I wanna see you some day, oh
My antediluvian baby.
My antediluvian baby, I wanna see you
My antediluvian baby, gotta tell me where she gone
I wanna see you some day
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, oh yeah
Oh glub glub, down down, yeah
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
She came, she
came to meet a man, she found an angel.
Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now,
Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now,
Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now.
He very wise in the herbal lore 's got young cure now.
She came, she came to free the pain with his wild flower.
Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now,
Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now.
Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now,
Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now.
Fine fine, fine fine Acelandine be prepared for her.
Tea tea, tea tea to make her free while incense burned.
In love pool eyes float feathers after the struggle.
The hopes burst and shot joy all through the mind
Sorrow more distant than a star.
Multi colour run down over your body,
Then the liquid passing all into all
Love is hot truth is molten.
True true, true true the song he sang her while the leaves cooked
Ting ting, ting little bell he rang her, sleepily she looked.
He filled, he filled a leather cup, holding her gaze
She took, she took a little sip while this song he sang:
Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was my name now,
Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was my name now.
Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was my name now,
Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now.

Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was my name now.
Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal
Little pebble
upon the sand
Now you're lying here in my hand,
How many years have you been here ?
Little human upon the sand
>From where I'm lying here in your hand,
You to me are but a passing breeze.
The sun will always shine where you stand
Depending in which land
You may find yourself.
Now you have my blessing, go your way.
Happiness runs in a circular motion
Thought is like a little boat upon the sea.
Everybody is a part of everything anyway,
You can have everything if you let yourself be.
Happiness runs, happiness runs.
Happiness runs, happiness runs.
Happiness runs, happiness runs.
Happiness runs, happiness runs.
Happiness runs in a circular motion
Thought is like a little boat upon the sea.
Everybody is a part of everything anyway,
You can have everything if you let yourself be.

You can have everything if you let yourself be.
Happiness runs, happiness runs.

Happiness runs, happiness runs.
Why ? Because.
Why ? Because.

Happiness runs in a circular motion
Thought is like a little boat upon the sea.
Everybody is a part of everything anyway,
You can have everything if you let yourself be.

Do you have
a shirt that you really love,
One that you feel so groovy in ?
You don't even mind if it starts to fade,
That only makes it nicer still.
I love my shirt, I love my shirt,
My shirt is so comfortably lovely.
I love my shirt, I love my shirt,
My shirt is so comfortably lovely.
Do you have some jeans that you really love,
Ones that you feel so groovy in ?

That only makes them nicer still.
I love my jeans, I love my jeans,
My jeans are so comfortably lovely.
I love my jeans, I love my jeans,
My jeans are so comfortably lovely.
When they are taken to the cleaners,
I can't wait to get them home again.
Yes, I take 'em to the cleaners
And there they wash them in a stream,
Scrub a rub dub dub
And there they wash them in a stream -
Know what I mean.
Do you have some shoes that you really love,
Ones that you feel so flashy in ?
You don't even mind if they start to get some holes in
That only makes them nicer still.
I love my shoes, I love my shoes,
My shoes are so comfortably lovely.
I love my jeans, I love my jeans,
My jeans are so comfortably lovely.

In fact I love my wardrobe.

I'll sing you
a song called Pamela Jo,
A girl with a sweet melody, don' you know,
The words are very easy to follow,
So you can know Pamela Jo.
She loves to go to railroads on rainy days
Dream about the distant land, so she says.
The tracks are very easy to follow,
Why don't you go, Pamela Jo ?
She looks just a little like a circus child,
She just can't wait to let her hair grow wild.
She's got very top top secret charms -
She works all day to get her paper filed.
She's easy to play on piano or juke,
She had a hard time when first she was took
But still she's been a model child, an open book
So now you know Pamela Jo.
Oh yeah!

She had a hard time when first she was took,
And still she's been a model child, an open book.

Whew!
Pamela Jo so you can know
You see this
kind of chick in every town.
Whenever there's a scene she's always hanging around
She's so naïve and innocent, stares at to it all
She's only fourteen but she knows how to draw.
Supergirl, supergirl.
Supergirl, supergirl.
Supergirl She's my supergirl and I love her
Supergirl She's my supergirl and I love her
Supergirl She's my supergirl and I love her
Supergirl She's my supergirl and I love her.
She never gets involved with blowing her cool
She's to visit painting sky with her classmates in school
Teachers they ignore, they would if they could
She ain't quite grown up yet but her credence's real good.
Supergirl She's my supergirl and I love her
Supergirl She's my supergirl and I love her
Supergirl She's my supergirl and I love her
Supergirl She's my supergirl and I love her.
I'm not very
fancy in the mid of air,
I'm not proud to say I am merry here.
I've found a girl and I love her so,
Groovy, groovy woman and she set me free.
Hark awhile and listen to this love song.
Give me for sometimes I wanted to
Take her to the woods and show her what to do.
She could see the stars if she's looking up,
Drink the sweet juice from a loving cup,
Show her what it is to make a love song.
Hey, have you ever seen the lonely ones
Putting down the lovers for having fun ?
The very same thing that would set them free,
They should catch an evening with my lover and me,
Whoopee!
I'm not very fancy in the mid of air,
I'm not proud to say I am merry here.
I've found a girl and I love her so,
Groovy, groovy woman and she set me free.
Hark awhile and listen to this love song.
Hey, have you ever seen the lonely ones
Putting down the lovers for having fun ?
The very same thing that would set them free,
They should catch an evening with my baby and me,
Whoopee!
Dear Susan,
I know you love me so
But I want to hear it in my ear.
You know I'd be there working at my craft
Had it not been for the draft.
Dry up your tear and feel no fear,
You're here with me like I'm there with you.
To Susan on the West Coast waiting,
From Andy in Vietnam fighting.
To Susan on the West Coast waiting,
From Andy in Vietnam fighting.
I'm writing a note beneath a tree,
The smell of the rain on the greenery.
Our fathers have painfully lost their way,
That's why, my love, I'm here today
Hear me when I say there will come a day
When Kings will know and love can grow.
To Susan on the West Coast waiting,
From Andy in Vietnam fighting.
To Susan on the West Coast waiting,
From Andy in Vietnam fighting.
To Susan on the West Coast waiting,
From Andy in Vietnam fighting.
To Susan on the West Coast waiting,
From Andy in Vietnam fighting.
Susan, I know you love me so
But I'd like to hear it in my ear.
You know I'd be there working at my craft
Had it not been for the draft.
Dry up your tear and feel no fear,
You're here with me like I'm there with you.
To Susan on the West Coast waiting,
From Andy in Vietnam fighting.
To Susan on the West Coast waiting,
From Andy in Vietnam fighting.
To Susan on the West Coast waiting,
From Andy supposedly hating.
To Susan on the West Coast waiting,
From Andy in Vietnam fighting.
I can see by
your eyes you're a good girl
And the sparkle of the ring on your hand.
You got a friend called ramblin' Trudi,
Oh Johnny never looked at that friend.
Won't you go to bed with me
Won't you take a chance babe with me.
Won't you go to bed with me
Won't you take a chance babe with me.
I can see by your eyes you're a sad girl
And the little chain around your neck.
You got to face down a ramblin' sunset,
Oh Johnny never looked at that bad.
Won't you go to bed with me
Won't you take a chance babe with me.
Won't you go to bed with me
Won't you take a chance babe with me.
I can see by your eyes you're a good girl
And the sparkle of the ring on your hand.
You got a friend called ramblin' Trudi,
Oh Johnny never looked at that friend.
Won't you go to bed with me
Won't you take a chance babe with me.
Won't you go home with me
Won't you take a chance babe with me.
Trudi motoring, Trudi motor away
Trudi motoring, Trudi motor away
Trudi would you, could you, would you Trudi
Would you, could you motor away for me.
Trudi, Trudi, would you, would you, could you
Trudi, Trudi, Trudi motor away
Trudi motoring, Trudi motor away
Trudi motoring, Trudi motor away.
Trudi motoring, Trudi motor away.
Springtime for me has gone, where is she ?
Waking in the blue dawn, where is she ?
Someday I'll say to her "I am here."
Smiling her words will be "I am cheer."
I know she'll wait for me,
Well, I know she'll wait for me to come to her.
Springtime for me has gone, where is she ?
Waking in the blue dawn, where is she ?
Lazy adorn and adorn she will be
Drowsy sleepy with blue I am here.
I know she'll wait for me,
Well, I know she'll wait for me to come to her.

(songs not in order, some omitted)
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
All mimsey were the borogroves
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjubb bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock with eyes if flame
Came whiffling through the tulgeywood
And burbled as it came.
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went sniker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock ?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooy, callay!"
He chortled in his joy.
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
All mimsey were the borogroves
And the mome raths outgrabe.
Presenta the grand circo! The prima del mondo!
La grand successo! Giulia Nova Vittorio!
Fantastico! Magnifico! Spectaculario!
Here, Alice ventured to interrupt.
"It's very long," she said as politely as she could,
"Will you tell me first which road ?"
Tweedledum smiled gently and began again.
The sun was shining on the sea, shining with all his might;
He did his very best to make the billows smooth and bright -
And this was odd, because it was the middle of the night.
The moon was shining sulkily because she thought the sun
Had got no business to be there after the day was done.
"It's very rude of him," she said, "to come and spoil the
fun."
The sea was wet as wet could be, the sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud because no cloud was in the sky.
No birds were flying overhead, there were no birds to fly.
The walrus and the carpenter were walking close at hand;
They wept like anything to see such quantities of sand.
"If this were only cleared away," they said, "it would be
grand."
"If seven maids with seven mops swept it for half a year,
Do you suppose, the walrus said", "that they could get it clear
?"
"I doubt it," said the carpenter, and shed a bitter tear.
"O oysters, come and walk with us!" the walrus did beseech.
"A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk, along the briny beach:
We cannot do with more than four to give a hand to each."
The eldest oyster looked at him, but never a word he said:
The eldest oyster winked his eye and shook his heavy head
Meaning to say he did not choose to leave the oyster bed.
But four young oysters hurried up, all eager for their treat,
Their coats were brushed, their faces washed, their shoes were clean and
neat
And this was odd, because you know they hadn't any feet.
Four other oysters followed them and yet another four
And thick and fast they came at last, and more, and more, and more
All hopping through the frothy waves and scrambling to the shore.
The walrus and the carpenter walked on a mile or so
And then they rested on a rock conveniently low
And all the little oysters stood and waited in a row.
"The time has come," the walrus said, "to talk of many
things,
Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings
And why the sea is boiling hot, and whether pigs have wings."
"But wait a bit," the oysters cried, "before we have our
chat,
For some of us are out of breath, and all of us are fat!"
"No hurry," said the carpenter - they thanked him much for that.
"A loaf of bread," the walrus said, "is what we chiefly
need,
Pepper and vinegar besides, are very good indeed.
Now if you're ready oysters dear, we can begin to feed."
"Not on us! " the oysters cried, turning a little blue.
"After such kindness that would be a dismal thing to do."
"The night is fine, " the walrus said, "do you admire the
view ? "
"It was so kind of you to come and you are very nice!"
The carpenter said nothing but, "Cut us another slice:
I wish you were not quite so deaf - I've had to ask you twice."
"It seems a shame," the walrus said, "to play them such
a trick
After we've brought them out so far and made them trot so quick."
The carpenter said nothing but, "The butter's spread too thick. "
"I weep for you," the walrus said, "I deeply sympathise."
With sobs and tears he sorted out those of the largest size,
Holding his pocket handkerchief before his streaming eyes.
"O oysters," said the carpenter, "You've had a pleasant
run
Trotting home again ? " But answer came there none.
And this was scarcely odd because they'd eaten every one,
They'd eaten every one.
Oh the little white road climbs over the hill,
My feet they must follow, they cannot be still,
Must follow and follow though far it may roam.
Oh little white road you will never come home.
Oh, the hills they are patient and steadfast and wise,
They look over the valleys and up to the skies,
But the little white road scrambles up them and over.
Oh, little white road you are ever the rover.
I fain would go with you right down to the sea
Where a ship with white sails would be waiting for me,
Go sailing and sailing to strange lands afar
Where deserts and forests and lost cities are.
But when I grew weary of my gypsying ways
I'd sail home again for to end all my days
In the little grey cottage, beside the grey hill.
But you, little road, would be wandering still!
Thrown like a star in my vast sleep
I'm opening my eyes to take a peep
To find that I was by the sea
Gazing with tranquility
'Twas then when the hurdy gurdy man
Came singing songs of love
Then when the hurdy gurdy man
Came singing songs of love
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy he sang
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy he sang
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy he sang
Histories of ages past
Unenlightened shadows cast
Down through all eternity
The crying of humanity
'Tis then when the hurdy gurdy man
Comes singing songs of love
Then when the hurdy gurdy man
Comes singing songs of love
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy he sang
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy hurdy gurd
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy he sang
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy he sang
Here comes the roly-poly man
He's singing songs of love
Roly poly, roly poly, roly poly poly he sang
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy he sang
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy he sang
Roly poly, roly poly, roly poly poly he sang
Jennifer Juniper lives upon the hill
Jennifer Juniper sitting very still
Is she sleeping, I don't think so
Is she breathing, yes, very low
What'cha doin', Jennifer my love
Jennifer Juniper rides a dappled mare
Jennifer Juniper lilacs in her hair
Is she dreaming, yes, I think so
Is she pretty, yes, ever so
What'cha doin', Jennifer my love
I'm thinking of
What it would be like if she loved me
You know just lately this happy song
It came along and I like to somehow try and tell you
Jennifer Juniper, hair of golden flax
Jennifer Juniper longs for what she lacks
Do you like her, yes I do, sir
Would you love her, yes I would, sir
What'cha doin, Jennifer my love
Jennifer Juniper, Jennifer Juniper, Jennifer Juniper
Jennifer Juniper vit sur la colline
Jennifer Juniper assise tr,s tranquille
Dortelle, je ne crois pas
Respire t'elle, oui, mais tout bas
Qu'estce tu fais, Jenny mon amour
Jennifer Juniper, Jennifer Juniper, Jennifer Juniper
The lock upon my garden gate's a snail, that's what it is
The lock upon my garden gate's a snail, that's what it is
First there is a mountain then there is no mountain
Then there is
First there is a mountain then there is no mountain
Then there is
The caterpillar sheds his skin to find the butterfly within
Caterpillar sheds his skin to find the butterfly within
First there is a mountain then there is no mountain
Then there is
First there is a mountain then there is no mountain
Oh, Juanita, oh, Juanita, oh, Juanita I call your name
Oh, the snow will be a blinding sight to see
As it lies on yonder hillside
The lock upon my garden gate's a snail, that's what it is
The lock upon my garden gate's a snail, that's what it is
Caterpillar sheds his skin to find the butterfly within
Caterpillar sheds his skin to find the butterfly within
First there is a mountain then there is no mountain
Then there is
First there is a mountain then there is no mountain
Then there is
