Woe to the weak canary that fluttered from its cage Woe to the pampered Pekinese, that faced Growltiger's rage Woe the bristly bandicoot that lurks on foreign ships And woe to any cat with whom Growltiger came to grips But most to cats of foreign race his hatred had been vowed To cats of foreign name and race, no quarter was allowed The Persian and the Siamese regarded him with fear Because it was a Siamese had mauled his missing ear Now on a peaceful summer night all nature seemed at play The tender moon was shining bright, the barge at Molsey lay All in the balmy moonlight it lay rocking on the tide And Growltiger was disposed to show his sentimental side In the forepeak of the vessel, Growltiger stood alone Concentrating my attention on the lady Griddlebone And my raffish crew were sleeping in their barrels and their bunks As the Siamese came creeping in their sampans and their junks Growltiger had no eye or ear for aught but Griddlebone And the lady seemed enraptured by my manly baritone Disposed to relaxation and awaiting no surprise But the moonlight shone reflected from a thousand bright blue eyes And closer still and closer the sampans circled 'round And yet from all the enemy there was not heard a sound The foe was armed with toasting forks and cruel carving knives And the lovers sang their last duet in danger of their lives In una tepida notte d'estate, allorche la natura Era nel pieno fulgore, e la resca rugiada Splendeva al chiar di luna sopra la verzura Si poteva vedere il galeone ancorato Oscillare in silenzio nel vento profumato Dalla marea del naviglio serenamente cullato In quella tepida notte che c'e dunque di male Se in tnata poesia anche il pirata divento sentimentale? Oscillare in silenzio nel vento profumato Dalla marea do naviglio serenamente cullato In quella tepida notte In quella tepida notte In quella tepida notte Then Genghis gave the signal to his fierce Mongolian hordes Abandoning their sampans, the chinks they swarmed aboard Abandoning their sampans, their pullaways, their junks They battened down the hatches on the crew within their bunks Then Griddlebone she gave a screech for she was badly skeered I am sorry to admit it, but she quickly disappeared She probably escaped with ease I'm sure she was not drowned But a serried ring of flashing steel Growltiger did surround The ruthless foe presssed forward in stubborn rank on rank Growltiger to his vast surprise was forced to walk the plank He who a hundred victims had driven to that drop At the end of all his crimes was forced to go kerflip, kerflop Oh there was joy in Wapping when the news flew through the land At Maidenhead and Henley there was dancing on the Strand Rats were roasted whole in Brentford and Victoria Dock And a day of celebration was commanded in Bangkok! These modern productions are all very well But there's nothing to equal from what I hear tell That moment of mystery when I made history Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Jellicle Cats, Jellicle Songs For Jellicle Cats, Joseph All The Time, Josephs Coat (The Coat Of Many Colors), Josephs Dreams, Josephs Coat, Josephs Dreams, Judas Death, King Herods Song Try It And See, King Herods Song, Lament, Little LotteThe Mirror (Phantom Of The Opera), Love Changes Everything, Macavity, Macaviy The Mystery Cat, Masquerade, Memory, Memory from cats, Mr Mistoffelees, Mr Mistoffolees, Mungojerrie And Rumpelteazer, Mungojerrie And Rumpleteazer, Music Of The Night, Music of the night phantom of the opera, Oh What A Circus, Old Deuteronomy, One More Angel In Heaven, Peters Denial, Phantom Of The Opera, Pharaos Dreams Explained, Pharaoh Story, Pharaohs Dream Explained, Pharaohs Dream Explained, Pharoahs Story, Pie Jesu, Pilate And Christ, Pilate And Jesus, Pilates Dream, Pilates Dream, Point Of No Return, Poor Poor Joseph, Poor Poor Pharaoh, Potiphar, Prima Donna, Prologue, Prologue -- You Are What You Feel, Prologue--You Are What You Feel, Rainbow High, Seeing Is Believing, Simon Zealotes Poor Jerusalem, Other Webber Andrew Lloyd song Lyrics All I Ask Of You Lyrics All i ask of you phanton of the opera Lyrics And The We Are Decided Lyrics Angel Of Music Lyrics Any Dream Will Do Lyrics Anything But Lonely Lyrics Benjamin Calypso Lyrics Bustopher Jones Lyrics Close Every Door Lyrics Could We Start Again, Please Lyrics Crucifixion Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics Webber Merrily Lyrics Webster Francis Paul Lyrics Webster Mandel Lyrics Webster Max Lyrics Webster Nikki Lyrics Wedding Parties Anything Lyrics Wedding Present Lyrics Weddings Parties Anything Lyrics Wedgee Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
