peggy ashcroft - how pleasant to know mr. lear lyrics
“how pleasant to know mr.lear!”
who has written such volumes of stuff!
some think him ill+tempered and queer
but a few think him pleasant enough
his mind is concrete and fastidious
his nose is remarkably big;
his visage is more or less hideous
his beard it resembles a wig
he has ears, and two eyes, and ten fingers
leastways if you reckon two thumbs;
long ago he was one of the singers
but now he is one of the dumbs
he sits in a beautiful parlour
with hundreds of books on the wall;
hе drinks a great deal of marsala
but nevеr gets tipsy at all
he has many friends, lay men and clerical
old foss is the name of his cat;
his body is perfectly spherical
he weareth a runcible hat
when he walks in waterproof white
the children run after him so!
calling out, “he’s gone out in his night+
gown, that crazy old englishman, oh!”
he weeps by the side of the ocean
he weeps on the top of the hill;
he purchases pancakes and lotion
and chocolate shrimps from the mill
he reads, but he cannot speak, spanish
he cannot abide ginger beer:
ere the days of his pilgrimage vanish
how pleasant to know mr. lear!
