Mike Batt - A Delicate Combination lyrics

rate me

The Beaver confessed, with affectionate looks<br />

More eloquent even than tears,<br />

It had learned in ten minutes far more than all books<br />

Would have taught it in seventy years.<br />

<br />

Such friends, as the Beaver and Butcher became,<br />

Have seldom if ever been known;<br />

In winter or summer 'twas always the same-<br />

You could never find either alone.<br />

<br />

And when quarrels arose- as one frequently finds<br />

Quarrels will spite of every endeavour-<br />

The song of the Jubjub recurred to their minds,<br />

And cemented their friendship for ever!<br />

<br />

(Butcher Beaver)<br />

Oh it's hard to believe we could end up friends,<br />

By a delicate combination<br />

(Butcher)<br />

Of fear of the dark,<br />

(Beaver)<br />

Belief in the Snark,<br />

(Both)<br />

And intelligent conversation.<br />

Who would have guessed on this windswept night,<br />

We would balance the whole equation?<br />

(Butcher)<br />

Who would have forseen, friendship between,<br />

(Beaver)<br />

Female Beaver<br />

(Butcher)<br />

And male caucasian?
