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