Lyrics Ogre Battle (Live at the Rainbow, London / March 1974) - Queen

Ogre Battle!
Ah, come on
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

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 to find a new destination
That is the sign

Come tonight
Come to the ogre site
Come to the ogre battle, fight

What do you think of the show so far?

He gives a great big cry, swallows up the ocean
With a mighty tongue, he catches flies and the palm of his hand incredible size
One great big eye has to focus in your direction
Now, the battle is on, yeah, yeah, yeah

Come tonight
Come to the ogre site
Come to the ogre battle, fight

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, hit it
The ogre men are still inside, the two-way mirror mountain
You gotta keep clear and out of sight
You can't see in, but they can see out
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

Right!

Ogre men are going home
And the great big fight is over
Bugle blow let trumpet cry
Ogre battle lives forevermore

You can come along
You can come along
Come to ogre battle
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Nice one
Thank you
Yeah, it's really nice
Thank you, thank you very much

How you all doin' up there?
All there, they're all awake
How would you like to hear something from the first album?
Fine...
Which one would you like?
I tell you what, ha-ha
This one's called "Son and Daughter"
