"The Sleepy Giant" and more lyrics from Natalie Merchant onstage at TED2010 right now
“The Sleepy Giant,” Charles E. Carryl (1841-1920) My age is three hundred and seventy-two, And I think, with the deepest regret, How I used to pick up and voraciously chew The dear little boys whom I met. I’ve eaten them raw, in their holiday suits; I’ve eaten them curried with rice; I’ve eaten them baked, in their jackets and boots, And found them exceedingly nice. But now that my jaws are too weak for such fare, I think it exceedingly rude To do such a thing, when I’m quite well aware Little boys do not like being chewed.
