DESCRIÇÃO GERAL

LETRA

Letra

The things a merciful and clement

Wazir must endure!

How surely one can tell the expert

From the amateur!

Dear hand, deft hand

Clever and facile extremity

Fond companion to me

From my birth

Sweet hand, swift hand

Spinner of fable and fantasy

Faithful friend of my art

Would they rend us apart

Leaving no finger or fist there

But just the hint of a wrist there?

Where then my spirited wit, my mercurial charm?

Am I fated to sit with an elbow and arm

And no digits to top them off

If they lop them off!

Well said a plea as ever

Moved a man to shed a tear!

Well said, but not said enough

If we know of our Wazir

How could I plead with you

How could I pray to you?

How intercede with you

What could I say to you?

(This is becoming a bore!)

Like a dog with no tail

(Drag this debris out the door!)

Like a spoutless whale

(A bore! A bore!)

Like an elephant sunk if you cut off its trunk!

(So do as I ordered before!)

(Drag this debris out the door!)

Hold! I'd like to hear a little more

When you tell a story

Amorous or gory

You can tell it best if you gesticulate

Suppose the mighty Sinbad

Meets a Djin who's been bad

They will guess the rest if you gesticulate!

A tongue is a tongue

And a lung is a lung

And a tale that can shout or sing

Without the gesture - nothing!

Should Scheherazade

Undulate her body

That can be expressed if you gest-

Can be assessed if you gest-

She'll be undressed if you gesticulate!

If I tell you I was walking by the sea

And found a Genie in a bottle

That's trite

Quite!

For practically everyone has seen a Genie

Someone had to throttle

In a bottle!

Right!

But if I say the bottle was so teenie!

So teenie!

And so was the Genie

So was the Genie

Until with trembling hand

I pulled the cork

And threw the jug

And covered up my eyes

And the smoke began to curl

And the smoke began to swirl

And it curled and it swirled

And it swirled and it curled

As higher it did rise

Till it was so high

So high!

And so was the Genie!

So was the Genie!

Then two great arms reached down

(Two great arms?)

And lifted me up! Up! Up! (Up! Up! Up!)

Into the sky (So high! So high!)

And we did fly (And we did fly)

The Genie and I (How he did fly!)

We did sail! (Did sail!)

Did sail! (Did sail!)

Is this a tale? (This is a tale!)

Are you convinced? (We are convinced)

You see? (You see? You see?)

For the facile finger

Listeners will linger

They will be impressed if you gest-

Applaud with zest if you gest-

If it's a question of a story, gory

Sinbad in bad, bottle, smoke, Genie, arms

Fly sky high

I state, reiterate

Gesticulate

With your hands! (With your hands!)
