《The Sleepy Giant》歌词

[00:00:00] The Sleepy Giant - Natalie Merchant

[00:00:09] My age is three hundred and seventy-two

[00:00:14] I think with the deepest regret

[00:00:18] How I used to pick up and voraciously chew

[00:00:23] The dear little boys that I met

[00:00:27] I've eaten them raw in their holiday suits

[00:00:32] Eaten them curried with rice

[00:00:36] I've eaten them baked

[00:00:38] In their jackets and boots

[00:00:41] And found them exceedingly nice

[00:00:45] But now that

[00:00:47] My jaws are too weak for such fare

[00:00:50] I think it's exceedingly rude

[00:00:54] To do such a thing when I'm quite well aware

[00:00:59] Little boys do not like being chewed

[00:01:03] Little boys do not like being chewed

[00:01:45] So I contentedly live upon eels

[00:01:50] And try to do nothing amiss

[00:01:54] Pass all the time I can spare for my meals

[00:01:59] In innocent slumber like this

[00:02:04] Innocent slumber like this

[00:02:09] More eels my lady

[00:02:15] Perhaps some bubble and squeak

[00:02:18] Or a little toad in the hole

[00:02:23] A Lyconshire hot pot perhaps

[00:02:27] That would be nice

[00:02:46] And so now I contentedly live upon eels

[00:02:51] And try to do nothing amiss

[00:02:56] Pass all the time I can spare for my meals in

[00:03:00] Innocent slumber like this

[00:03:05] Innocent slumber like this
