Words and music by freddie mercury
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
He gives a great big cry
and he can swallow 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
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
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
Ogre men are coming home
the great big fight is over
bugle blow let trumpet cry
ogre battle lives for ever more
you can come along
you can come along
come to ogre battle
