Ray Davies - Storyteller lyrics

I'll tell you a story to pa** on to the end, as told to me so long ago by my good friend As we hollowed round the log fire, we laughed the whole night long, as he told me a tale pa**ed on to him by a wanderin' vagabond My friend told me the story and I'll pa** it on to you It was handed down this century and he swore that it was true And in the morning I could see him fade Was it fact or fiction? Who can say? (Storyteller) I believe ev'ry word you say (Storyteller) I bet you told a good tale in your day He tried to tell the people, but the people wouldn't hear him spinning yarns and telling tales from yesteryear Then he smiled and finished his story He said "Will you pa** it on for me?" (Storyteller) I'll tell that tale for you (Storyteller) Somehow I'll get your message through My friend told me the story and I'll pa** it on to you It was handed down this century and I swear that it is true
