Ogre Battle

[Intro:]
Ahh! Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ahh!

[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
And the palm of a hand - the incredible size!
One great big eye
Has a focus in your direction
Now the battle is on.

[Chorus:]
Come tonight
Come to the ogre sight
Come to the ogre-battle-fight.

[Instrumental]
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ahh!

[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
"Ooh, keep a lookout!"
The ogre-men are coming out
From the two-way mirror mountain
They're running up behind and they're coming all about
Can't go east 'cause you gotta go south.

[Instrumental]
(Shrieks and moans)

[Verse 4:]
Ogre-men are going home
The great big fight is over
Bugle blow, let trumpet cry
Ogre battle lives for ever more.

[Outro:]
Oh-ho-ho
You can come along
You can come along
Come to ogre battle.
