"Will you walk a little faster?", said a whiting to a snail |
|
"There's a porpoise close behind us, treading on my tail" |
|
See how eagerly the lobsters and the turtles all advance |
|
They are waiting on the shingle |
|
Will you come and join the dance? |
|
Will you, won't you, will you |
|
Won't you, will you join the dance? |
|
Will you, won't you, will you |
|
Won't you, won't you join the dance? |
|
You can really have notion how delightful it will be |
|
When they take us up and throw us with the lobsters out to sea |
|
But the snail replied, "Too far, too far", and gave a look askance |
|
Said he thanked the whiting kindly but he would not join the dance |
|
Would not, could not, would not |
|
Could not, would not join the dance |
|
Would not, could not, would not |
|
Could not, could not join the dance |
|
"What matters it how far we go?", his scaly friendreplied |
|
"There is another shore you know upon the other side" |
|
The further off from England, the nearer is to France |
|
Then turn not pale, beloved snail but come and join the dance |
|
Will you, won't you, will you |
|
Won't you, will you join the dance? |
|
Will you, won't you, won't you |
|
Will you, won't you join the dance? |
|
Will you, won't you, will you |
|
Won't you, won't you join the dance? |
|
Will you, won't you, will you |
|
Won't you, won't you join the dance? |
