lee hoiby – the serpent كلمات اغاني
there was a serpent who had to sing
there was. there was
he simply gave up serpenting
because. because
he didn’t like his kind of life;
he couldn’t find a proper wife;
he was a serpent with a soul;
he got no pleasure down his hole
and so, of course, he had to sing
and sing he did, like anything!
the birds, they were, they were astounded;
and various measurеs propounded
to stop the serpеnt’s awful racket:
they bought a drum. he wouldn’t whack it
they sent, —you always send, —to cuba
and got a most commodious tuba;
they got a h_rn, they got a flute
but nothing would suit
he said, “look, birds, all this is futile:
i do not like to bang or tootle.”
and then he cut loose with a horrible note
that practically split the top of his throat
“you see,” he said, with a serpent’s leer
“i’m serious about my singing career!”
and the woods resounded with many a shriek
as the birds flew off to the end of next week
