Paroles de la chanson The Walrus And The Carpenter par Donovan

Presenta the grand circo!
The prima del mondo!
La grand successo!
Giulia Nova Vittorio!
Fantastico!
Magnifico!
Spectaculario!

Here Alice ventured to interupt -
"It's very long" she said as politely as she could -
"Will you tell me first which road?"
Tweedledum smiled gently and began again

The sun was shining on the sea
Shining with all his might;

He did his very best to make
The billows smoothe and bright -
And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night

The moon was shining sulkily
Because she thought the sun
Had got no business to be there
After the day was done
"It's very rude of him," she said
"To come and spoil all the fun."

The sea was wet as wet could be
The sands were dry as dry
You could not see a cloud
Because no cloud was in the sky
No birds were flying overhead
There were no birds to fly

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand
They wept like anything to see
Such quantities of sand
"If this were only cleared away,"
They said, "it would be grand."

"If seven maids with seven mops
Swept it for half a year
Do you suppose," the Walrus said
"That they could get it clear?"
"I doubt it," said the Carpenter
And shed a bitter tear

"O Oysters, come and walk with us!"
The Walrus did beseech
"A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk

Along the briny beach
We cannot do with more than four
To give a hand to each."

The eldest Oyster looked at him
But never a word he said
The eldest Oyster winked his eye
And shook his heavy head -
Meaning to say he did not choose
To leave the oyster bed

But four young Oysters hurried up
All eager for their treat
Their coats were brushed
Their faces washed
Their shoes were clean and neat
And this was odd
Because you know they hadn't any feet

Four other Oysters followed them
And yet another four
And thick and fast they came at last
And more, and more, and more
All hopping through the frothy waves
And scrambling to the shore

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Walked on a mile or so
And then they rested on a rock
Conveniently low
And all the little Oysters stood
And waited in a row

"The time has come," the Walrus said
"To talk of many things;
Of shoes - and ships - and sealing wax -

Of cabbages - and kings -
And why the sea is boiling hot -
And whether pigs have wings."

"But wait a bit," the Oysters cried
"Before we have our chat
For some of us are out of breath
And all of us are fat!"
"No hurry," said the Carpenter
They thanked him much for that

"A loaf of bread," the Walrus said
"Is what we chiefly need
Pepper and vinegar besides
Are very good indeed
Now, if you're ready oysters dear
We can begin to feed."

"Not on us!" the Oysters cried
Turning a little blue
"After such kindness that would be
A dismal thing to do."

"The night is fine," the Walrus said
"Do you admire the view?"

"It was so kind of you to come!
And you are very nice."
The Carpenter said nothing but
"Cut us another slice
I wish you were not quite so deaf -
I've had to ask you twice."

"It seems a shame," the Walrus said
"To play them such a trick
After we've brought them out so far

And made them trot so quick."
The Carpenter said nothing but
"The butter's spread to thick."

"I weep for you," the Walrus said
"I deeply sympathize."

With sobs and tears he sorted out
Those of the largest size
Holding his pocket handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes

"Oh oysters" said the Carpenter
"You've had a pleasant run -
Trotting home again?"
But answer came there none
And this was scarcely odd
Because they'd eaten every one

They'd eaten every one
