[Intro]
Ahh! Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ahh!
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Come tonight
Come to the ogre sight
Come to the ogre-battle-fight
[Verse 2]
He gives a great big cry and he can swallow up the ocean
With a mighty tongue he catches flies
And the palm of a hand, the incredible size!
One great big eye has a focus in your direction
Now the battle is on, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Come tonight
Come to the ogre sight
Come to the ogre-battle-fight
[Bridge]
The ogre-men are still inside
The two-way mirror mountain
Got to keep down right out of sight
You can't see in but they can see out
"Ooh, keep a lookout!"
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
(Ahhhh!)
[Verse 3]
Ogre-men are going home, the great big fight is over
Bugle blow, let trumpet cry, ogre battle lives for ever more
[Outro]
Oh-ho-ho
You can come along
You can come along
Come to ogre battle
