Ogre Battle BBC Session/December 3rd 1973 Langham 1 Studio by Queen Lyrics

[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 site
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 -
The palm of a hand the incredible size
One great big eye - has a focus in your direction
Now the battle is on
Yeah yeah yeah
[Chorus]
Come tonight
Come to the ogre site
Come to the ogre - battle - fight

[Bridge]
The ogre men are still inside
The two-way mirror mountain
Gotta 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 'cos you gotta go south

(Ahhhh!)

[Verse 3]
Ogre-men are going home
And 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
