Knots

Gentle Giant

How can I laugh or cry


When my mind is sorely torn?


Badabec had to die


Fair Pantagruel is born


Shall I weep, yes, for why?


Then laugh and show my scorn





Born with a strength untold


Foreseen to have great age


Set in Gargantuan mould,


Joyful laugh, yet quick to rage


Princely wisdom, habits bold;


Power, glory, lauded sage





Pantagruel born -- the earth was dry and burning


In Paradise dear Badabec prays for him


Pantagruel born -- the earth was dry and burning


In Paradise dear Badabec prays for him.





Pantagruel born -- the earth was dry and burning


In Paradise dear Badabec prays for him





How can I laugh or cry


When my mind is sorely torn?


Badabec had to die;


Fair Pantagruel is born


Shall I weep, yes, for why?


Then laugh and show my scorn
