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