The Walrus and the Carpenter - Soundtrack

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Or, the story of the curious oysters
The sun was shining on the sea
Shining with all it's might
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright
And this was odd because it was
The middle of the night
The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand
The beach was wide
From side to side
But much too full of sand
Mr. Walrus!
Said the Carpenter
My brain begins to perk
We'll sweep this clear
In 'alf a year
If you don't mind the work

Work?!?
The time has come...

The Walrus said

To talk of other things
Of shoes and ships and sealing wax
Of cabbages and kings
And why the sea is boiling hot
And whether pigs have wings
Callo-Callay
No work today!
We're cabbages and kings

Oh, uh, Oysters, come and walk with us
The day is warm and bright
A pleasant walk
A pleasant talk
Would be a sheer delight

Yes, should we get hungry on the way
We'll stop and, uh, have a bite

Ahem!

But Mother Oyster winked her eye
And sher heavy head
She knew too well this was no time
To leave her Oyster bed

The sea is nice,
Talk my advice
And stay right here

Mum said

Yes, yes of course
Of course, but, uh, ha, ha!
The time has come
My little friends
To talk of other things
Of shoes and ships and sealing wax
Cabbages and kings
And why the sea is boiling hot
And whether pigs have wings
Ha ha
Callo-Callay
Come, run away
With cabbages and kings

Well, now, uh, let me see
Ah!
A loaf of bread
Is what we chiefly need!

Listen, how 'bout some pepper
And salt and vinegar, eh?

Well, yes, yes
Splendid idea, ha ha!
Now, if you're ready
Oysters, dear
We can begin to feed

Feed?!?

Oh, yes...
The time has come
My little friends
To talk of food and things

Of peppercorns and mustard seeds
And other seasonings
We'll mix 'em all together
In a sauce that's fit for kings
Callo-Callay
We'll eat today
Like cabbages and kings

I, uh
I, I weep for you
I...
Oh, excuse me
I deeply sympathize
For I've enjoyed your company
Oh, much more than you realize

Little Oysters?
Little Oysters?

But answer
There came none

And this was scarcely odd
Because

They'd been eaten
Every one!

With cabbages and kings!
The End!
