Verse 1:
C
My bed is made of candy floss
Eb
The house is made of cheese
C
It’s lit by lots of glowworms
Eb
If I’m wrong correct me please
[repeat intro, 2X]
Verse 2:
The village is a pop-up book
The people wooden dolls
The roads are made from treacle
Think it’s time that I moved on
[repeat intro, 2X]
Bridge:
Dm7 G
My boat is half a walnut shell
Dm7 G
The journey will be long
Dm7 G
So I filled the hold with peppermints
Dm7 G
And creamy pink blancmange
F
I sailed away for fifteen days
F#
It never once got dark
F
And came upon two large houses
F#
Set out in a park
Verse 3:
On the door of one was truth
On the other door was lies
Which one should I enter through
I really must decide
[repeat intro, w/lyrics:]
Am Em
The door marked lies had lots of flowers growing ’round outside
Am Em
But looking closer, noticed it was crumbling inside
Verse 4:
The door marked truth was very plain
But stood up very strong
And when I entered thru its door
I knew I wasn’t wrong
