Make-Believe Town

Peter, Paul and Mary

1. In Make-Believe Town,
   In Make-Believe Town,
   In Make-Believe Town,
   Oh, yes, 
   
   In Make-Believe Town,
   Oh, Make-Believe Town,
   Oh, Make-Believe Town
   Is a mess 
   
   It's a mess because all the animals walk,
   It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
   It's a mess because all the hunting hounds... 
   
R: Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
   Go no more a-hunting,
   But that's in animal Make-Believe Town. 
   
2. Well the monkey who lives
   In Make-Believe Town
   He loves to drink saffron tea
   He sits on the veranda
   And talks to the panda
   And then he jumps into the sea 
   
   He jumps into the sea because it is green
   He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
   He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...  
R:
   
3. Well the elephant lives
   In Make-Believe Town
   And he is a wise old man
   He studied in books
   Where nobody looks
   Because they're all covered with jam 
   
   He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
   He is wise because of his wrinkly face
   He is wise because all the hunting hounds... 
R: 
   
4. Well the magician who lives
   In Make-Believe Town
   He can do any trick in the book
   He makes little girls giggle
   And tadpoles twiggle
   And rides through the sky on his hook 
   
   He rides because the good fairy is there
   And he rides because he has long purple hair
   He rides because all the hunting hounds... 
R:
   
5. Well the children that live
   In Make-Believe Town
   They are good friends like you and me
   They can go where they wish
   And hide in a dish
   And climb in the sassafras tree 
   
   They are friends because they all love one another
   They are friends because they all sing to each other
   They are friends because all the hunting hounds... 
R:
