Queen — Ogre Battle Live at the Rainbow London / November 1974

Freddie: it's time for "Ogre Battle" Ah, ah, ah, Huh, Haaah! Now once upon a time An old man told me a fable When the piper is gone And the soup is cold on your table And if the black crow flies to Find a new destination That is the sign Come tonight Come to the ogre sight Come to ogre battle fight He gives a great big cry Swallow up the ocean With a mighty tongue, he catches flies The palm of a hand incredible size Great big eye Has a focus in your direction And the battle is won Yeah, yeah, yeah Come tonight Come to the ogre sight Come to ogre battle fight Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Haaah! Hit it ... The ogre men are still inside The two-way mirror mountain You gotta stay clear and out of sight You can't see in but you can see out Keep a GOOD lookout ... The ogre men are coming out Two-way mirror mountain They're running up behind And they're coming all about Can't go east 'cause you gotta go sout (guitar solo) Ogre men are comin' home And then the great big fight is over Bugle blow let trumpet cry Ogre battle lives forevermore Oh, oh, oh Yes you can come along You can come along Come to Ogre Battle Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Haaah! (spoken) Freddie: Thank you, thank you, you lovely darlings. Have you all got your black fingernails? And who's got the white ones? They all seem to be over there. Tell you what, right now, we'd like to carry on with something else from 'Queen II', would you like that? Freddie: Nice one. Thank you
