To England was traded some tea
And so sealed the fate
In pieces of eight
All England and all of the world
Yeah... Poppies
When soon his majesty
Sent soldiers and thieves
To India Searching for gold
Instead from the ground
Some magic they found
Something far better I'm told
Yeah... Poppies
Yeah... Poppies
And now this story told
From days of our own
When gossamer doggies ran ran
They'd patiently wait
With pieces of eight
So everybody could smile one more time
Yeah... Poppies
Yeah... Poppies
Long long ago, In China I'm told To England was traded some tea And so sealed the fate In pieces of eight All England and all of the world Yeah... Poppies When soon his majesty Sent soldiers and thieves To India Searching for gold Instead from the ground Some magic they found Something far better I'm told Yeah... Poppies Yeah... Poppies And now this story told From days of our own When gossamer doggies ran ran They'd patiently wait With pieces of eight So everybody could smile one more time Yeah... Poppies Yeah...
