B,U,O
Big Ugly Ogre.
Tip-toe through the woodland
as onward quietly you go.
Careful not to awaken the Ogre we all know.
Well he has lived there for years
a real Ogre in every way.
Who reminds us of our fears
if he sees us he will say with a Mighty Roar.
"WHO DARES TO TREAD MY WOODLAND
AND WAKE ME FROM MY BED.
IF I CATCH YOU IN MY WOODLAND
THEN SOON YOU COULD BE DEAD."
So if it's through this woodland you dare to go
and have lived,
it's because you've met the Ogre and have taken his
favourite gift.
He is rather fond of truffles covered in green slime.
Then he may grant you freedom through his woodland
one more time.
So tip-toe tippy-toe do not make a sound
and the Ugly Big Ogre will stay sleeping
underground.
SHUSH!
