Mr. Crow and Sir Norman Lyrics by The Idle Race

Back to the Story

0

[Verse 1]
Ventriloquist was he
Little boy sat on his knee
The people knew
That the show was but
The best one in the land
Until one night before the act
The dummy's clothes had all been packed
Away he'd gone
And he'd left poor Mr. Crow
Right in the lurch
[Chorus]
You know he's gone far away
I hear his voice go laughing
What of all the years we shared?
[Verse 2]
Hello, Mr. Crow
Has your little boy left home?
Did he run away?
Well, I hope he'll soon be back
To do the show
I'm sorry you must feel quite sad
When your dummy runs away
Without a word
That is all old Mr. Crow had heard
[Chorus]
You know he's gone far away
I hear his voice go laughing
What of all the years we shared?
[Bridge]
Now come on, Mr. Crow, my dear
We'd better have this gottle o' geer
[Verse 3]
Then one fateful night
Into the dressing room so bright
Walked our friend's hateful doll
Mr. Crow cried tears of joy all in his tea
The bad doll said, "Kindly address me
As Sir Norman, little man, I am a star
And if you weren't so old
Maybe I'd let you be my doll"
[Alt. Chorus]
You know I've been far away
I've heard the people laugh
Now I'm a great big star
[Outro]
(Here they are!)
(Mr. Crow and Sir Norman!)
