the cage wire who put on the honor of

the night I could have sworn it was the

Gritty of this vagabond team just a

thirsty gesture my lord invited me to be

merry

well then let's drain another bumper and

buckle down to the business of the night

I can't tell what was the association of

idea but just as Your Majesty had struck

the girl and thrown the wine in her face

just after your majesty had done this

and found the parrot was making that odd

noise outside the window there came into

my mind our capital definition one of my

own country frolics often enacted among

us at our masquerades but here it will

be altogether new

unfortunately it requires a company of

eight persons and well here we are to a

fraction by seven ministers what is the

diversion

we call it the 80 chained arrange and it

really is excellent sport if well an

active beauty of the game lies in the

fright education lead that to me

the resemblance shall be so striking

that the company of masqueraders will

take you for the real beasts and of

course they'll be as much terrified of

the stomach work tomorrow night at the

strike of King will convene at the royal

bar

oh this is exquisite frog I will make a

man of you

and importing from you now that's much

let me avow you'll not want to deal that

my days have been a dream yet you hope

us from the way the night and day in a

vision holy none is it therefore the

last birth

that we see you're seeing is between we

need agree

I stand amid the roar of herself no man

teacher and I hope within my hand grains

of the crystal cell

Oh

the deep why

chandelier yes yes I'll remember the

chandelier must be removed I'm to tell

them that because of the warm weather

the Watson whippings will damage the

costumes of the guests who can't be

expected to keep from under the

chandelier because of the crowd when he

was a mere wisp of a lad whose idea was

this what is this I can't wear that

absolutely not I hate these Falls what's

frog with his Bell silver bells but a

over sprinkle all the heavens seem to

twinkle crystal and do fight

[Music]

my feathers to the top such a much more

efficient what if they don't show never

fear my dear

the king is little fool has planned a

marvelous surprise I'm told what's this

white chains of course for the purpose

of increasing the confusion by their

jangling you're supposed to have escaped

on mass from your keepers

Your Majesty cannot conceive of the

effect produced by a chain during the

tail rushing in with savage cries among

the crowd of gorgeously and the

delicately habited men and women the

contrast is in him

great king in his seven privy

councillors the king who does not

scruple to strike a defenseless girl and

his seven counselors who abet him in the

outrage for myself I am simply hopfrog

the gesture and this is my last chest

[Music]

here the tolling of the bells iron bells

what a world of solemn thought their

mana he compels in the Silence of the

night how we shiver with a fright at The

Melancholy Menace of the town for every

sound that

trust within their throats is a groan

and the people the people they that

dwell up in the steeple all alone and

who tolling tolling tolling in that

muffled monitor

whew a glory and so rolling on the human

heart a stone they are neither man nor

woman they are neither brute nor human

they are goals and their king is retold

and he rolls rolls rolls rolls a pan

from the bells and his merrie bosom

swells with the pain of the bells and he

dances and he yells keeping time time

time in a sort of runic rhyme

to the pan of the bells of the bells

keeping time time time in a sort of

runic rhyme to the throbbing of the

bells of the bells bells bells to the

sobbing of the bells keeping time time

time as he Dells nails and nails in a

happy runic rhyme to the rolling of the

bells of the bells bells bells to the

tolling of the bells of the bells bells

bells bells

bells bells to the moaning and the

groaning of the bells
