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