The Bellmans Speech Lyrics & Chords By Mike Batt

Friends, Romans and countrymen! Please lend me your ears, And I will carefully impart what you may have thought for years, But were too scared to ask, By day or after dark; In the Hunting of the Snark! The emotional occasion brings the moisture to my eyes
As I rise to remark
That I think we may be gaining on the Snark.
I'm of notorial persuasion that I hear its distant cries.
And they're never far away,(Crew and Bellman)(No they're never far away)(Bellman)So I rise to remark
That I think we may be gaining on the Snark. Friends, Romans and countrymen! Please lend me your ears, And I will carefully impart what you may have thought for years, But were too scared to ask, By day or after dark; In the Hunting of the Snark!(Crew)The Hunting of the Snark, The Hunting of the Snark...(Bellman)In the Hunting of the Snark! From my own investigations and the bearings on the chart, In my heart I can see
A potential Snark may lurk in every tree.
As I make these observations I suggest that we should start, For we haven't any time to spare(No we haven't any time to spare)In your hearts you'll agree, A potential Snark may lurk in every tree! Friends, Romans and countrymen! Please lend me your ears, And I will carefully impart what you may have thoughtfor years, But were too scared to ask, By day or after dark; In the Hunting of the Snark!(Crew)The Hunting of the Snark, The Hunting of the Snark...(Bellman)In the Hunting of the Snark!
