Lyrics:
Ha, ha, ha, ha

Now once upon a time
An old man told me a fable
When the piper is gone
And the soup is cold on the table
And when 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
And he can swallow up the ocean
With a mighty tongue he catches flies
In the palm of a hand incredible size
One great big eye
Has a focus in your direction
Now the battle is won
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Come tonight
Come to the ogre sight
Come to ogre battle fight

Ha, ha, ha, ha
Cool

The ogre men are still inside
The two-way mirror mountain
You gotta keep down right out of sight
You can't see in but they can see out
'Oooh, keep a look out'
The ogre men are coming out
From the two-way mirror mountain
They're running up behind
And they're coming all about
Can't go east 'cos you gotta go south

Ogre men are going home
The great big fight is over
Bugle blow let trumpet cry
Ogre battle lives for evermore
Wow, oh, oh
You can come along
You can come along
Come to ogre battle

Sister - I live and lie for you
You are mine I possess you
Belong to you forever

Storm the master-marathon I'll fly through
By flash and thunder fire and I'll survive

And come out alive

Give out the good, leave out the bad evil cries
I challenge the mighty Titan and his troubadours
And with a smile

With the pistons a pumping, and the hub-caps all gleam
When I'm holding your wheel
All I hear is your gear
With my hand on your grease gun
Oh, it's like a disease son
I'm in love with my car
Gotta feel for my automobile
Get a grip on my boy racer rollbar
Such a thrill when your radials squeal

Told my girl I'd have to forget her
Rather buy me a new carburettor
So she made tracks saying this is the end now
Cars don't talk back they're just four wheeled friends now

When I'm holding your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When I'm cruising in overdrive
Don't have to listen to no run of the mill talk jive

I'm in love with my car (love with my, love with my car)
Gotta feel for my automobile
I'm in love with my car (love with my, love with my car)
String back gloves in my automolove

(Love with my, love with my car)
(Love with my, love with my car)
(Love with my, love with my car)
