Natalie Merchant - Calico Pie [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1:]
Calico Pie
The little Birds fly
Down to the calico tree
Their wings were blue
And they sang 'Tilly-loo!'
Till away they flew

[Chorus:]
And they never came back to me!
They never came back! [x2]
They never came back to me!

[Verse 2:]
Calico Jam
The little Fish swam
Over the syllabub sea
He took off his hat
To the Sole and the Sprat
And the Willeby-Wat

[Chorus:]
But he never came back to me!
He never came back![x2]
He never came back to me!

[Verse 3:]
Calico Ban
The little Mice ran
To be ready in time for tea
Flippity flup
They drank it all up
And danced in the cup

[Chorus:]
But they never came back to me!
They never came back[x2]
They never came back to me!

[Verse 4:]
Calico Drum
The Grasshoppers come
The Butterfly, Beetle, and Bee
Over the ground
Around and around
With a hop and a bound

[Chorus:]
But they never came back to me!
They never came back![x2]
They never came back to me!
