Beastly! - Seven Songs

Song Cycle by Mervyn, Lord Horder, the Second Baron of Ashford (1910 - 1998)

1. The vulture  [sung text not yet checked]

The Vulture eats between his meals,
And that's the reason why
He very, very, rarely feels
As well as you and I.

His eye is dull, his head is bald,
His neck is growing thinner.
Oh! what a lesson for us all
To only eat at dinner!
