  • 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. Writer/s: Gary Brooker, Keith Reid
