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

Come tonight

Come to the ogre sight

Come to the ogre-battle-fight

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 incredible size

One great big eye - has a focus in your direction

Now the battle is on

Yeah yeah yeah

Come tonight

Come to the ogre sight

Come to the ogre-battle-fight

Fa fa fa fa faa

Hoooa

The ogre-men are still inside

The two-way mirror mountain

You gotta keep down right out of sight

You can't see in, but they can see out

"Ooh keep a look out"

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
