What has Where is Anne?
 What has Head above the buttercups,
What has Walking by the stream,
 What has Down among the buttercups.
What has Where is Anne?
What has Walking with her man,
What has Lost in a dream,
 What has Lost among the buttercups.

What has she got in that little brown head?
Wonderful thoughts which can never be said.
What has she got in that firm little fist of hers?
Somebody’s thumb, and it feels like Christopher’s.

Somebody’s thumb, Where is Anne?
Somebody’s thumb, Close to her man.
Somebody’s thumb, Brown head, gold head,
 Somebody’s thumb, In and out the buttercups.
