When I’m Sad and Lonely

Lyrics by Peggy June

Sung by Michael Kent

 

When I'm sad and lonely,

I just make a face

I just look inside myself

And see if there's a place

I can go to, inside -- where 

 

I can be a big baboon,

Play on a really big bassoon,

Ride on a pig

Or climb a mountain,

Go to New York

And splash in a fountain.  

 

I'll pretend I'm somewhere

Where skies are bright and sunny

I'll be a clown and fall right down

And laugh when things are funny.  

 

So come with me to my honeybee tree

And we'll be bees in a sea of heather,

Fly over swamps

Do do-si-do stomps

And touch our wings together.  

 

Pardon me if I'm not in

If I'm about to wander,

'Cause in my mind

There are places and things

Of which I am so much fonder.  

 

When I'm sad and lonely,

I just make a face

I just look inside myself

And see if there's a place

I can go to, inside.
