The Lobster Quadrille |
«Will you walk a little faster?» |
Said a whiting to a snail, |
«There's a porpoise close behind us, |
And he’s treading on my tail. |
See how eagerly the lobsters |
And the turtles all advance! |
They are waiting on the shingle — |
Will you come and join the dance? |
Will you, won’t you, will you, |
Won’t you, will you join the dance? |
Will you, won’t you, will you, |
Won’t you, won’t you join the dance? |
«You can really have notion |
How delightful it will be |
When they take us up and throw us, |
With the lobsters, out to sea!» |
But the snail replied, «Too far, too far!» |
And gave a look askance — |
Said he thanked the whiting kindly, |
But he would not join the dance. |
Would not, could not, would not, |
Could not, would not join the dance. |
Would not, could not, would not, |
Could not, could not join the dance. |
«What matters it how far we go?» |
His scaly friend replied, |
«There is another shore, you know, |
Upon the other side. |
The further off from England |
The nearer is to France — |
Then turn not pale, beloved snail, |
But come and join the dance. |
Will you, won’t you, will you, |
Won’t you, will you join the dance? |
Will you, won’t you, will you, |
Won’t you, won’t you join the dance? |
