[G] [Em] [G] [Em] [G] [G]Down the lanes of [D]foggy chimneys [C]Through the little [D]seaside town [G]Strives the east wind [D]like a dragon [C]Strewing leaves [D]all ragged brown. [C]Winter planting [G]icicles A[C]long the [Am]foreign [D]shore But the [C]Punch and Judy [D]man is gone for[G]ever.

[G]Mr Punch and Judy man, [C]please bring back my [G]childhood [D]land of [G]summer.

[G]In the meadow [D]by the river [C]where the oak and [D]willow stand [G]Silver mists come [D]creeping down To [C]lullaby our [D]sleeping land. [C]Through the bare and [G]blackened branches [C]Swallows [Am]fly [D]all morn But the [C]Punch and Judy [D]man is gone for[G]ever.

[G]Mr Punch and Judy man, [C]please bring back my [G]childhood [D]land of [G]summer.

[G]Slot machines and [D]penny arcades [C]Jingle jangle [D]on the pier, [G]Gone the sound of [D]children laughing, [C]Fading with each [D]dying year. [C]Through the [G]town he wanders In the [C]misty [Am]morning [D]haze, But the [C]Punch and Judy [D]man is gone for[G]ever.

[G]Mr Punch and Judy man, [C]please bring back my [G]childhood [D]land of [G]summer.

[G]Punchanello, [D]Punchanello [C]Where have you and [D]Judy gone? [G]Gone to join the [D]swelling ranks Of [C]things that they look [D]back upon [C]Memories can [G]conjure up Those [C]dreams of [Am]yester[D]day, But the [C]Punch and Judy [D]man is gone for[G]ever.

[G]Mr Punch and Judy man, [C]please bring back my [G]childhood [D]land of [G]summer. [G]Mr Punch and Judy man, [C]please bring back my [G]childhood [D]land of [G]summer. [Em] [G]
