Lyrics

While horsemen ride across the green
And snow white still remains unseen
Pegasus, the winged horse
Relays his messages by morse
And like some pirate sailor
We crossed the spanish main
And brought our magic carpet
To a marble staircased plain

While handel plays his melody
Doctors cause uncertainty
And though I know the lifeguard's brave
There is no one for him to save
And like some pirate sailor
We crossed the spanish main
And brought our magic carpet
To a marble staircased plain

Cock robin views his frozen feet
And wraps them in a winding sheet
And calls out for his favourite drink
The persian that's as warm as mink
And like some pirate sailor
We crossed the spanish main
And brought our magic carpet
To a marble staircased plain
