Somewhere Town

Which is the way to Somewhere Town? 
Oh, up in the morning early.
Over the tiles and the chimney pots, 
That is the way quite clearly.

And which is the door to Somewhere Town?

Oh, up in the morning early.

The round red sun is the door to go through,

That is the way quite clearly.

— Kate Greenaway
