Ogre Battle (Live at the Hammersmith Odeon, 24th December 1975)
[Spoken Word: Freddie Mercury]
We're now going to take you to the battlefield
This is called "Ogre Battle"

[Intro]
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
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Come tonight
Come to the ogre site
Come to the ogre battle fight

[Verse 2]
He gives a great big cry, swallow up the ocean
With a mighty tongue he catches flies
Palm of a hand, incredible size
Great big eye, has a focus in your direction
And the battle is won
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Come tonight
Come to the ogre site
Come to the ogre battle fight
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ahh!
Ooh, watch out

[Bridge]
The ogre-men are still inside
Two-way mirror mountain
You gotta stand clear and out of sight
You can't see in, but you can't see out
"So keep a good lookout!"
The ogre-men are coming up
Two-way mirror mountain
They're running up behind and they're coming all about
Can't go east 'cause you gotta go south

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Ogre-men are going home
And then 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
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ahh, ooh!

[Spoken Word: Freddie Mercury]
