Mr. Speaker (Gets the Word)

[Intro 1, overlaps Intro 2]

Humble thyself, humble thyself and ye shall be exalted

Humble thyself and ye shall be exalted

You have all the members of your body, use them wisely

Hearken ye! Hearken ye, hearken ye [?]

Into the valley of death rode the 600

Cannons to right of them, cannons to left of them

Cannons in front of them...

[Intro 2, overlaps Intro 1]

Lars Porsena of Clusium, by the nine gods he swore

That the great house of Tarquin should suffer wrong no more

By the nine gods he swore it and bade the trysting day

And sent his messengers forth, East and West, South and North

To summon his array

East and West and South and North...

[Verse 1]

Wriggles from his captor's arms

Mr. Speaker gets the word

Running now from the alarms

Speak his mind free as a bird

Free now to roam around

Stand up straight when he quotes

Spread the word that he has found

Books of verse and scribbled notes

[Chorus]

Mr. Speaker gets the word

To tell the secrets he has heard

Speaks so fast his words are slurred

Mr. Speaker gets the word

[Verse 2]

Stands up straight outside my door

I bring you now the words I've learned

Whom it may concern, señor

Tell my friends I have returned

[Chorus]

Mr. Speaker gets the word

To tell the secrets he has heard

Speaks so fast his words are slurred

Mr. Speaker gets the word

[Bridge]

Excitement rages through his brain

Stirred and stirred throughout the years

Not enough time to explain

Eyes of madness, eyes of fear

[Verse 3]

Making space from Coney Hatch Lane

Just some poetry my friend

Scuttles past my window frame

Vanishes right round the bend

[Chorus]

Mr. Speaker gets the word

To tell the secrets he has heard

Speaks so fast his words are slurred

Mr. Speaker gets the word
