Ogre Battle (Live At The Rainbow, London / November 1974) Lyrics

It's time for 'Ogre Battle'

Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah
Aaah

Now once upon a time
An old man told me a fable
When the piper is gone
And the soup is cold on the table
And if the black crow flies
Find a new destination
That is the sign
Come tonight
Come to the ogre sight
Come to ogre battle fight

He gives a great big cry
Swallow up the ocean
With a mighty tongue he catches flies
Palm of a hand incredible size
Great big eye
Has a focus in your direction
And the battle is won
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Come tonight
Come to the ogre sight
Come to ogre battle fight

Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah
Aaah
Oooh, watch out

The ogre men are still inside
Two-way mirror mountain
You gotta stay clear and out of sight
Can't see in but you can see out
'Keep a good look out'
The ogre men are coming out
Two-way mirror mountain
They're running up behind and they're coming all about
Can't go east 'cos you gotta go south

Ogre men are going home
And then the great big fight is over
Bugle blow let trumpet cry
Ogre battle lives for evermore
Ooh, woh, woh
But you can come along
You can come along
Come to ogre battle

Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah
Aaah

Thank you
Thank you, you lovely darlings
Have you all got your black fingernails?
And who's got the white ones?
They all seem to be over there
Tell you what, right now
We'd like to carry on with something else from 'Queen II', would you like that?
