<br>

<br>

(Bellman)<br>

Friends, Romans and countrymen!<br>

Please lend me your ears,<br>

And I will carefully impart what you may have thought for years,<br>

<br>

But were too scared to ask,<br>

By day or after dark;<br>

In the Hunting of the Snark!<br>

<br>

The emotional occasion brings the moisture to my eyes<br>

As I rise to remark<br>

That I think we may be gaining on the Snark.<br>

I'm of notorial persuasion that I hear its distant cries.<br>

And they're never far away,<br>

(Crew and Bellman)<br>

(No they're never far away)<br>

(Bellman)<br>

So I rise to remark<br>

That I think we may be gaining on the Snark.<br>

<br>

Friends, Romans and countrymen!<br>

Please lend me your ears,<br>

And I will carefully impart what you may have thought for years,<br>

<br>

But were too scared to ask,<br>

By day or after dark;<br>

In the Hunting of the Snark!<br>

(Crew)<br>

The Hunting of the Snark, The Hunting of the Snark...<br>

(+ Bellman)<br>

In the Hunting of the Snark!<br>

<br>

From my own investigations and the bearings on the chart,<br>

In my heart I can see<br>

A potential Snark may lurk in every tree.<br>

As I make these observations I suggest that we should start,<br>

For we haven't any time to spare<br>

(No we haven't any time to spare)<br>

In your hearts you'll agree,<br>

A potential Snark may lurk in every tree!<br>

<br>

Friends, Romans and countrymen!<br>

Please lend me your ears,<br>

And I will carefully impart what you may have thought<br>

for years,<br>

<br>

But were too scared to ask,<br>

By day or after dark;<br>

In the Hunting of the Snark!<br>

(Crew)<br>

The Hunting of the Snark, The Hunting of the Snark...<br>

(+ Bellman)<br>

In the Hunting of the Snark!<br>
