The Hunting of the Snark movie - A Delicate Combination lyrics

rate me

<br>

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?<br>

<br>
