The Walrus And The Carpenter
The sun was shining on the sea Shining with all his might He did his very best to make The billows smooth and bright And this was odd because it was The middle of the night The Walrus and the Carpenter Were walking close at hand The beach was wide From side to side But much too full of sand Mr. Walrus! Said the Carpenter My brain begins to perk We'll sweep this clear In 'alf a year
If you don't mind the work Work?!? The time has come... The Walrus said To talk of other things Of shoes and ships and sealing wax Of cabbages and kings And why the sea is boiling hot And whether pigs have wings Calloo-Callay No work today! We're cabbages and kings
Oh, uh, Oysters, come and walk with us
The day is warm and bright A pleasant walk A pleasant talk Would be a sheer delight Yes, should we get hungry on the way We'll stop and, uh, have a bite Ahem! But Mother Oyster winked her eye
And sher heavy head She knew too well this was no time To leave her Oyster bed The sea is nice, Take my advice And stay right here Mum said Yes, yes, of course, of course, but, uh, ha, ha! Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com The time has come, my little friends To talk of other things Of shoes and ships and sealing wax Cabbages and kings And why the sea is boiling hot And whether pigs have wings, ha ha Callo-Callay
Come, run away With cabbages and kings! Well, now, uh, let me see... Ah! A loaf of bread is what we chiefly need! Listen, how 'bout some pepper and salt and vinegar, eh? Well, yes, yes, splendid idea, ha ha! Very good, indeed Now, if you're ready, Oysters, dear We can begin the feed
Feed?!?
Oh, yes... The time has come, my little friends To talk of food and things Of peppercorns and mustard seeds And other seasonings! We'll mix 'em all together In a sauce that's fit for kings Calloo-Callay We'll eat today Like cabbages and kings!
I, uh...
I, I weep for you. I (hic), oh, excuse me I deeply sympathize For I've enjoyed your company, Oh, much more Than you realize
Little Oysters? Little Oysters?
But answer, there came none And this was scarcely odd because They'd been eaten Every one! Hm... Well, uh... Ha, ha. Ha, ha. Ha, ha. Ahem, uh... The time has come! With cabbages and kings! The End!
