| [00:14.23] |
They roused him with muffins they roused him with ice |
| [00:17.11] |
They roused him with mustard and cress |
| [00:19.82] |
They roused him with jam and judicious advice |
| [00:22.49] |
They set him conundrums to guess |
| [00:25.26] |
When at length he sat up and was able to speak |
| [00:27.86] |
His sad story he offered to tell |
| [00:30.92] |
And the bellman cried silence not even a shriek |
| [00:33.72] |
And excitedly tingled his bell |
| [00:36.20] |
There was silence supreme not a shriek not a scream |
| [00:39.11] |
Scarcely even a howl or a groan |
| [00:41.88] |
As the man they called ho told his story of woe |
| [00:44.77] |
In an antediluvian tone |
| [00:47.61] |
You may seek it with thimbles and seek it with care |
| [00:53.18] |
You may hunt it with forks and hope |
| [00:58.63] |
You may threaten it's life with a railway share |
| [01:04.15] |
You may charm it with smiles and soap |
| [01:20.99] |
But oh beamish nephew beware of the day |
| [01:23.97] |
If your snark be a boojum for then |
| [01:26.60] |
You will softly and suddenly vanish away |
| [01:29.46] |
And never be met with again |
| [01:32.23] |
It is this it is this that oppresses my soul |
| [01:34.94] |
When i think of my uncle's last words |
| [01:37.70] |
And my heart is like nothing so much as a bowl |
| [01:40.54] |
Brimming over with quivering curds |
| [02:05.53] |
You may seek it with thimbles |
| [02:08.34] |
And seek it with care |
| [02:11.32] |
You may hunt it with forks and hope |
| [02:16.83] |
You may threaten it's life with a railway share |
| [02:22.77] |
You may charm it with smiles and soap |
| [02:53.18] |
I engage with the snark every night after dark |
| [02:55.98] |
In a dreamy delirious fight |
| [02:58.80] |
I serve it with greens in those shadowy scenes |
| [03:01.47] |
And i use it for striking a light |
| [03:04.17] |
But if ever i meet with a boojum that day |
| [03:07.18] |
In a moment of this i am sure |
| [03:09.86] |
I shall softly and suddenly vanish away |
| [03:12.79] |
And the notion i cannot endure |
| [03:40.26] |
You may seek it with thimbles |
| [03:43.26] |
And seek it with care |
| [03:46.08] |
You may hunt it with forks and hope |
| [03:51.63] |
You may threaten it's life with a railway share |
| [03:57.13] |
You may charm it with smiles and soap |
| [04:02.78] |
You may seek it with thimbles |
| [04:05.60] |
And seek it with care |
| [04:08.49] |
You may charm it with smiles and soap |
| [04:14.03] |
You may threaten it's life with a railway share |
| [04:19.59] |
You may hunt it with forks and hope |
