Verse
B F#
Down the lanes of foggy chimneys
E B
Through the little seaside town
B F#
Strides the east wind like a dragon
E B
Strewing leaves of ragged brown
E B
Winter planting icicles
C#m F#
Along that barren shore
E F# B
But the Punch and Judy man is gone forever
[Chorus]
B
Mr. Punch and Judy Man
E B
Please bring back my childhood land of summer
[Verse 2]
B F#
In the meadow by the river
E B
Where the oak and willow stand
B F#
Silver mist come creeping down
E B
and lullaby our sleeping land
E B
Through the bare and brackened branches
C#m F#
Swallows fly no more
E F# B
But the Punch and Judy man is gone forever
[Chorus]
B
Mr. Punch and Judy Man
E B
Please bring back my childhood land of summer
[Verse 3]
B F#
Slot machines and penny arcades
E B
Jingle jangle on the pier,
B F#
Gone the sound of children laughing
E B
Fading with each dying year
E B
Through the little town he wanders
C#m F#
In the misty morning haze,
E F# B
But the Punch and Judy Man is gone for ever
[Chorus]
B
Mr. Punch and Judy Man
E B
Please bring back my childhood land of summer
[Verse 4]
B F#
Punchinello, Punchinello,
E B
Where have you and Judy gone?
B F#
Gone to join the swelling ranks
E B
Of things that they looked back upon
E B
Memory can conjure up
C#m F#
those dreams of yesterday,
E F# B
But the Punch and Judy Man is gone for ever
[Chorus]
B
Mr. Punch and Judy Man
E B
Please bring back my childhood land of summer
[Chorus]
B
Mr. Punch and Judy Man
E B
Please Bring back my childhood land of summer
