Goblin Street Lyrics

Morning and evening

The goblins are greeting

Come buy, come buy

Come buy, come buy

They have apples and quinces

Fine cherries and peaches

Come buy, come buy

Come buy, come buy

We must not taste the fruits

From soil of thirsty roots

We ought to run away

For sickness will grow, and misery and woe

They're full of deceit

On Goblin Street

With baskets of golden plates

They lug a hundred, thousand weights

Come buy, come buy

Come buy, come buy

Their fruits shall not charm us

For the gifts they will harm us

Come buy, come buy

Come buy, come buy

But how fair the vine must grow

For such a bountiful show

How can one not resist

The berries and dates

Delectable tastes

The flavours are sweet

On Goblin Street

Step right up! We've got catmint

We've got chamomile, we've got fennel

Come on up, you'll get the best prices in all the land

Oregano!

No no no, no no no, come back. Come back

You must try it. Wait!

And if you do refuse

Their tempers they will abuse

And in their feverish rage

They'll tear at your arms

They'll claw and they'll harm

They'll force you to eat

On Goblin Street

Chasing us homeward

Pass the gate, voices still heard

Come buy, come buy

Come buy, come buy

And those devious merchant men

Will be back to call once again

Come buy, come buy

Come buy, come buy

Come buy, come buy

Come buy
