[Verse 1]
CmCome along, catch a FmHeffalump,
CmSit with me on a Fmmuddy clump,
CmWe'll sing a song of Gdays gone Cmby.
CmRun along now, Fmdon’t be glum,
CmGet you gone, now, Fmhave some fun,
CmDon't be long, for the Gend is Cmnigh.
FmDon't let Ebmoments Fmpass Ebalong
FmAnd waste Ebbefore your Geyes;
CmMarch with me and the Fmborogoves,
CmCome with me and the Fmslithy toves,
CmAnd never Gask us Cmwhy.
[Chorus]
AbCome, come, come, Cmcome, come along now,
AbRun away from the Cmhum-drum,
AbWe'll go to a Cmplace that is safe from
GGreed, anger and Cmboredom.
AbWe'll dance and Cmsing till sundown,
AbAnd feast with Cmabandon,
AbWe'll sleep when the Cmmorning comes,
And we'll Grise by the sound of the Cmbirdsongs.
[Verse 2]
CmWe'll be here when the Fmworld slows down,
And the Cmsunbeams Fmfade aCmway,
CmKeeping time by a Fmpendulum
As the Cmfabric starts to Fmfray.
There’s Fmno such Ebthing as Fmtime to Ebkill,
Nor Fmtime to tEbhrow Gaway,
So, Cmonce for the Fmbright sky, Cmtwice for the Fmpig sty,
CmThrice for Ganother Cmday.
[Chorus]
AbCome, come, come, Cmcome, come along now,
AbRun away from the Cmhum-drum,
AbWe'll go to a Cmplace that is safe from
GGreed, anger and Cmboredom.
AbWe'll dance and Cmsing till sundown,
AbAnd feast with Cmabandon,
AbWe'll sleep when the Cmmorning comes,
And we'll Grise by the sound of the Cmbirdsongs.
[Instrumental]
 Fm   Cm(x4)
[Verse 3]
CmCome with me, catch a Fmrare type specimen,
CmCuddle up with a Fmhesitant skeleton,
CmWe'll break our Gfast with Cmfriends.
CmOnce we're fed, we shall Fmdisappear rapidly,
CmMany moons to the Fmwest of here and happily,
CmOur journey Gnever Cmends.
FmShut your Ebears when Fmsirens Ebsing,
Tie Fmarmbands Ebto your fGeet;
CmListen up and you Fmwon't go wrong again,
CmFloat along on a Fmverse-less song and then,
CmGet to where the Gtwo ends Cmmeet.
[Chorus]
AbCome, come, come, Cmcome, come along now,
AbRun away from the Cmhum-drum,
AbWe'll go to a Cmplace that is safe from
GGreed, anger and Cmboredom.
AbWe'll dance and Cmsing till sundown,
AbAnd feast with Cmabandon,
AbWe'll sleep when the Cmmorning comes,
And we'll Grise by the sound of the Cmbirdsongs.
