The Bellman's Speech |
| Friends, Romans and countrymen! |
| Please lend me your ears, And I will carefully |
| impart what you may have thought for years, But were too scared to ask, |
| By day or after dark; |
| In the Hunting of the Snark! |
| The emotional occasion |
| brings the moisture to my eyes |
| As I rise to remark |
| That I think we may be gaining on the Snark. |
| I’m of notorial persuasion that I hear its distant cries. |
| And they’re never far away,(Crew and Bellman)(No they’re never far |
| away)(Bellman)So I rise to remark |
| That I think we may be gaining on the Snark. |
| Friends, Romans and countrymen! |
| Please lend me your ears, And I will carefully impart what you may have |
| thought for years, But were too scared to ask, By day or after dark; |
| In the Hunting of the Snark!(Crew)The Hunting of the Snark, The Hunting of the |
| Snark…(Bellman)In the Hunting of the Snark! |
| From my own investigations and |
| the bearings on the chart, In my heart I can see |
| A potential Snark may lurk in every tree. |
| As I make these observations I suggest that we should start, For we haven’t any |
| time to spare (No we haven’t any time to spare) In your hearts you’ll agree, |
| A potential Snark may lurk in every tree! |
| Friends, Romans and countrymen! |
| Please lend me your ears, And I will carefully impart what you may have |
| thoughtfor years, But were too scared to ask, By day or after dark; |
| In the Hunting of the Snark!(Crew)The Hunting of the Snark, The Hunting of the |
| Snark…(Bellman)In the Hunting of the Snark! |
