bajka - the landing lyrics

there was one who was famed for the number of things
he forgot when he entered the ship:
his umbrella, his watch, all his jewels and rings
and the clothes he had bought for the trip
he had forty-two boxes, all carefully packed
with his name painted clearly on each:
but, since he omitted to mention the fact
they were all left behind on the beach

“his form is ungainly — his intellect small —”
(the bellman would often remark)
“but his courage is perfect! and that, after all
is the thing that one needs with a snark.”

his courage is perfect! and that, after all
is the thing that one needs with a snark

well, the loss of his clothes hardly mattered, because
he had seven coats on when he came
with three pairs of boots — but the worst of it was
he had wholly forgotten his name

he would answer to “hi!” or to any loud cry
such as “fry me!” or “fritter my wig!”
to “what-you-may-call-um!” or “what-was-his-name!”
but especially “thing-um-a-jig!”

“his form is ungainly — his intellect small —”
(the bellman would often remark)
“but his courage is perfect! and that, after all
is the thing that one needs with a snark.”

while, for those who preferred a more forcible word
he had different names from these:
his intimate friends called him “candle-ends,”
and his enemies “toasted-cheese.”

he came as a baker: but owned, when too late —
and it drove the poor bellman half-mad —
he could only bake bridecake — for which, i may state
no materials were to be had

“his form is ungainly — his intellect small —”
(the bellman would often remark)
“but his courage is perfect! and that, after all
is the thing that one needs with a snark.”
“his form is ungainly — his intellect small —”
(the bellman would often remark)
“but his courage is perfect! and that, after all
is the thing that one needs with a snark.”
“his form is ungainly — his intellect small —”
(the bellman would often remark)
“but his courage is perfect! and that, after all
is the thing that one needs with a snark.”
