Once Upon the Seas of Abyssinia Songtext

von T. Rex

La, la, la, la, da, da, da, da, la, la, la, la.
Once upon the Seas of Abyssinia,
A cultured man with rings,
Within his ear-lobes.
Locked the door,
From which the sun arose.
A man at noon,
With shadows on his cheek bone.
Screamed for sleep,
To use him as a pillow.
His robes of chintz were melting,
In the snows.
The stars with eyes,
Embedded in their footprints.
Wept sweet words,
From I remembered childhood.
Poets of the skies,
Look long and hard.
Once upon the Seas of Abyssinia,
A cultured man with rings,
Within his ear-lobes.
Locked the door,
From which the sun arose.
La, la, la, la, da, da, da, da, la, la, la, la....
(repeat til fade)
