the haughty snail-king - jake heggie lyrics

Loading...

twelve snails went walking after night
they’d creep an inch or so
then stop and bug their eyes
and blow
some folks . . . are . . . deadly . . . slow
twelve snails went walking yestereve
led by their fat old king
they were so dull their princeling had
no sceptre, robe or ring **
only a paper cap to wear
when nightly journeying

this king*snail said: “i feel a thought
within. . . . it blossoms soon. . .
o little courtiers of mine, . .
i crave a pretty boon. . .
oh, yes . . . (high thoughts with effort come
and well*brеd snails are almost dumb.)
“i wish i had a yellow crown
as glistering . . . as . . . thе moon.”
