This song could be from the perspective of the homeless person ian writes about in Aqualung.
He could be crazy or drunk and seeing things like Mother goose being tied up. A bearded lady. And the chicken fancier with a long red beard (maybe that's Ian) whose weird sister drives a lorry. And a scarecrow having stole something (anyone know what a jet black 'mac is??) from a snowman.
He could be delusional, thinking that he is a school boy and Long John Silver.
It's why he makes the school girls cry and why the bearded lady (is she really bearded??) assumes he's going to start raving and misbehaving.
Just a feeling here...

@mettle ...A "mac" is a type of coat I believe.

@mettle A mac is a mackintosh, or a raincoat.

@mettle I seriously doubt Ian Anderson perceives himself as a chicken-fancier as this is obviously a reference to a pedophile. Good try, though.
