Calico Pie Lyrics


Calico Pie,
The little Bird fly
Down to the calico tree,
Their wings were blue,
singing 'Tilly-Tilly-loo!'
Till away they flew, -
but they never came back to me!
Calico Jam,
The little Fish swam,
Over the syllabub sea,
He took off his hat,
To the Sole and the Sprat,
And the Willeby-Wat, -
But he never came back to me!
He never came back never came back,
He never came he never came back to me.
He never came back never came back,
He never came he never came back to me.

Oh he never came back
Calico Ban,
The little Mice ran,
To be ready in time for tea,
Flippity flup,
They drank it all up,
And danced in the cup, -
But they never came back to me!
Well, He never came back never came back,
He never came he never came back to me.
He never came back never came back,
He never came he never came back to me.
Oh he never came back
Calico Drum,
The Grasshoppers come,
The Butterfly, Beetle, and Bee,
Over the ground,
Around and around,
With a hop and a bound, -
But they never came back to me!
OH He never came back never came back,
He never came he never came back to me.
He never came back never came back,
He never came he never came back to me.
He never came back never came back,
He never came he never came back to me.
He never came back never came back,
He never came he never came back to me.
He never came back never came back,
He never came he never came back to me.
He never came back never came back,
He never came he never came back to me.
Oh he never came back

Natalie Anne O'Shea Merchant (born October 26, 1963 in Jamestown, New York, U.S.) is a professional musician. She co-founded and fronted the band 10,000 Maniacs in 1981. Later, she went to college and then left the band in 1993 and started a successful solo career. Merchant plays the piano, produces and writes many of her songs.

Her debut solo album Tigerlily (1995) had three top-40 singles: 'Carnival', 'Jealousy' and 'Wonder'. This was followed in 1998 with her second solo album Ophelia, her third in 2001 with Motherland, and fourth in 2003 called 'The House Carpenter's Daughter'.

Merchant has sung alongside Tracy Chapman, Michael Stipe, David Byrne and Peter Gabriel. She has also collaborated with Billy Bragg a number of times, including the 1998 album Mermaid Avenue. Like Bragg, her work touches on social and political themes; she has been active in promoting a number of campaigning issues in both her songs and through the causes to which she lends her name.
