GENTLE GIANT Acquiring The Taste 01 Pantagruel's Nativity

GENTLE GIANT - Acquiring The Taste - 1971





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.
