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
Yeah...poppies
