Lyrics

Dandelion

Prince or pauper, beggar man or thing
Play the game with every flower you bring

Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away, dandelion

One o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock, four o'clock, five
Dandelions don't care about the time

Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion, blow away dandelion

Though you're older, now it's just the same
You can play this dandelion game
When you're finished with your child-like prayers
Well, you know you should wear it

Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor's lives
Rich man, poor man, beautiful daughters, wives

Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion, blow away dandelion

Little girls and boys, come out to play, yes
Bring your dandelions to blow away

Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion, blow away dandelion

Blow away dandelion
Blow away dandelion
Blow away dandelion
