Caught a Cricket in a music box
He started hopping when he couldn't get out
But he learned to grind that organ down
Now he's chirping to that polyphon-sound
Sayin wind me up, don't you let me down
Keep'a rubbing those wings while the wheels go around
Pins pluck the comb, as my feet brush the ground
Sway me slow in that wedding day gown
He saw the world, he saw Paris, France
Played his music while the ballet would dance
He found love on the river thames
Broke some hearts when he played the wrong games
Found sight with the blind
Felt the earth move in time
Now that box, it'll never sound the same
Singin wind me up, don't you let me down
Keep rubbing those wings while the wheels go around
Pins pluck the comb, as my feet brush the ground
Sway me slow in that wedding day gown
Sway me slowly now
Where I dont wanna come back down
I'll be hanging around
Giving you every ounce I've got to give oh
