The Advent Of Panurge Lyrics

The Advent Of Panurge lyrics

There coming over Charaton Bridge

Look do you see the man who is poor

  but rich.

What do you wish; and where do you go;

who are you; where are you from:

Will you tell me your name?

Rest awhile; call me your friend.

Please stay with me I'd like to help.

Then he said,

How can I speak when I'm dry and my

throat is burning.  So bring me aid

and I'll answer your doubts.

Friend in need I'd like your help

Please take me home I'll stay with you.

Then he said fair Pantagruel

My name is Panurge and I have come

  from Hell.

Look at my friend

Look all around you

Look at my friend

Take all round you.

Hey, Friend

(Improvised foreign words in middle

section)

So brotherhood was made as their bond

Carried him home and provide for his

  needs

and his shelter; this day was done

as no other the like.

Faithfully their vow was made and from

that day they were as one.



Note:

The fabulous Rabelaisian giant,

Pantagruel, discovers a lifelong friend

and companion, Panurge.
