Verse
A# F
Down the lanes of foggy chimneys

Through the little seaside town

Strewing leaves of ragged brown

Winter planting icicles

Along that barren shore
D# F A#
But the Punch and Judy man is gone forever
[Chorus]
A#
Mr. Punch and Judy Man
D# A#
Please bring back my childhood land of summer
[Verse 2]
A# F
In the meadow by the river
D# A#
Where the oak and willow stand
A# F
Silver mist come creeping down
D# A#
and lullaby our sleeping land
D# A#
Through the bare and brackened branches
Cm F
Swallows fly no more
D# F A#
But the Punch and Judy man is gone forever
[Chorus]
A#
Mr. Punch and Judy Man
D# A#
Please bring back my childhood land of summer

A# F
Slot machines and penny arcades
D# A#
Jingle jangle on the pier,

Gone the sound of children laughing

Fading with each dying year

Through the little town he wanders

In the misty morning haze,
D# F A#
But the Punch and Judy Man is gone for ever

Mr. Punch and Judy Man

Please bring back my childhood land of summer

Punchinello, Punchinello,

Where have you and Judy gone?

Gone to join the swelling ranks
D# A#
Of things that they looked back upon

Memory can conjure up

those dreams of yesterday,
D# F A#
But the Punch and Judy Man is gone for ever

Mr. Punch and Judy Man

Please bring back my childhood land of summer

Mr. Punch and Judy Man

Please Bring back my childhood land of summer
