Lyrics The Bellman's Speech - Mike Batt
Friends,
Romans
and
countrymen!
Please
lend
me
your
ears,
And
I
will
carefully
impart
what
you
may
have
thought
for
years,
But
were
too
scared
to
ask,
By
day
or
after
dark;
In
the
Hunting
of
the
Snark!
The
emotional
occasion
brings
the
moisture
to
my
eyes
As
I
rise
to
remark
That
I
think
we
may
be
gaining
on
the
Snark.
I'm
of
notorial
persuasion
that
I
hear
its
distant
cries.
And
they're
never
far
away,(Crew
and
Bellman)(No
they're
never
far
away)(Bellman)So
I
rise
to
remark
That
I
think
we
may
be
gaining
on
the
Snark.
Friends,
Romans
and
countrymen!
Please
lend
me
your
ears,
And
I
will
carefully
impart
what
you
may
have
thought
for
years,
But
were
too
scared
to
ask,
By
day
or
after
dark;
In
the
Hunting
of
the
Snark!(Crew)The
Hunting
of
the
Snark,
The
Hunting
of
the
Snark...(Bellman)In
the
Hunting
of
the
Snark!
From
my
own
investigations
and
the
bearings
on
the
chart,
In
my
heart
I
can
see
A
potential
Snark
may
lurk
in
every
tree.
As
I
make
these
observations
I
suggest
that
we
should
start,
For
we
haven't
any
time
to
spare(No
we
haven't
any
time
to
spare)In
your
hearts
you'll
agree,
A
potential
Snark
may
lurk
in
every
tree!
Friends,
Romans
and
countrymen!
Please

And
