Pumpkin and Daisy

Pumpkin and Daisy
Were feeling so lazy
Spent all day out
Lying in the sun
Till one day they said
Hey, let's pack up our bags
And go see what this
World has become
On the way to the station
They picked up Papaya
She said she'd come along
For the ride
Hopped on a train and
Away they did go
Laughing and singing all night

Well they stopped at the ocean
Put all their toes in
The salt water sand
By the sea
Till Pumpkin and Daisy
Began to get lazy
Papaya said
This ain't for me
Oh let's go to the mountains
I hear they got snow there
I've always wanted to see
Those pretty young people
Wearing beautiful clothes
Sliding down off the mountain on skis

Carry on my sweet little ones
Carry on
Till your travels are done
I hope you find
Your place in the sun
Oh while we are here
Guess we might as well have us some fun

So they hopped on a train
That was headed out west
Finally wound up out in Vail
And the pretty young people
Wearing beautiful clothes
Were smoked up and
All cool as hell
So the three friends went over
The mountains to Boulder
And hooked up with some
Cool cat named Neil
Met all of his friends and
Went out on the road
On tour with the ole Larry Keel

Carry on my sweet little ones
Carry on
Till your travels are done
I hope you find
Your place in the sun
And while we are here
Guess we might as well
Have us some fun

Well about six months later
Papaya and Tater
Her boyfriend
She met out on the road
Moved down to the Southwest
To New Mexico
To live in a house made of mud
Pumpkin and Daisy
Were feelin so lazy
So they caught one more
Train bound for home
And the last time I heard
They were back at their place
Putting down
A few roots of their own

Carry on
my sweet little ones
Carry on
Till your travels are done
I hope you find
Your place in the sun
Oh so while we are here
Guess we might as well
Have us some fun
While we are here
Guess we might as well
Have us some fun
While we are here
Guess we might as well
Have us some fun
