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