Текст песни: The Sleepy Giant + перевод

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 to be chewed

And so I contentedly live upon eels

And try to do nothing amiss

And I pass all the time I can spare from my meals

In innocent slumber—like this
