Brian May - Ogre Battle lyrics

[Verse 1] Now once upon a time - an old man told me a fable When the piper is gone - and the soup is cold on your table And if the black crow flies to find a new destination - that is the sign [Chorus] Come tonight Come to the ogre sight Come to the ogre-battle-fight [Verse 2] He gives a great big cry and he can swallow up the ocean With a mighty tongue he catches flies - the palm of his hand is incredible One great big eye - has a focus in your direction Now the battle is on [Chorus] [Verse 3] The ogre men are still inside The two-way mirror mountain Got to keep down right out of sight You can't see in but they can see out "Keep a look out" The ogre-men are coming out From the two-way mirror mountain They're running up behind you and they're coming all about Can't go east because you got to go south Ogre-men are going home And the great big fight is over Bugle blow, the trumpet cry Ogre battle lives for ever more You can come along You can come along Come to ogre battle
