Lyrics
0:13Long long ago in China
0:16I'm told
0:18To England was traded
0:21Some tea
0:24And so sealed the fate
0:26In pieces of eight
0:29All England and all of the world
0:34Yeah poppies
0:47When soon his majesty
0:49Sent soldiers and thieves
0:52To India searching for gold
0:57Instead from the ground
1:00Some magic they found
1:02Something far better I'm told
1:08Yeah poppies
1:20Yeah poppies
1:53And now this story told
1:56From days of our own
1:58When gossamer doggies
2:01Ran ran
2:04They'd patiently wait
2:06With pieces of eight
2:09So everybody could smile
2:21Poppies
2:27Yeah poppies
Long long ago in China I'm told To England was traded Some tea And so sealed the fate In pieces of eight All England and all of the world Yeah poppies When soon his majesty Sent soldiers and thieves To India searching for gold Instead from the ground Some magic they found Something far better I'm told Yeah poppies Yeah poppies And now this story told From days of our own When gossamer doggies Ran ran They'd patiently wait With pieces of eight So everybody could smile Poppies Yeah poppies
