[Verse 1: Kerry Minnear]
How can I laugh or cry
When my mind is sorely torn?
Badabec had to die
Fair Pantagruel is born
Shall I weep, yes, for why?
Then laugh and show my scorn

[Verse 2: Kerry Minnear]
Born with a strength untold
Foreseen to have great age
Set in Gargantuan mould
Joyful laugh, yet quick to rage
Princely wisdom, habits bold
Power, glory, lauded sage

[Bridge: Derek Shulman]
Pantagruel born—the earth was dry and burning
In Paradise dear Badabec prays for him
Pantagruel born—the earth was dry and burning
In Paradise dear Badabec prays for him

[Instrumental Break 3:10–4:58]

[Bridge: Derek Shulman]
Pantagruel born—the earth was dry and burning
In Paradise dear Badabec prays for him
[Verse 3: Kerry Minnear]
How can I laugh or cry
When my mind is sorely torn?
Badabec had to die
Fair Pantagruel is born
Shall I weep, yes, for why?
Then laugh and show my scorn
