Gulliver's Travels Lyrics:

Judge:
"Now, the court is in order. Gulliver, Tell us what you think you saw."

Gulliver:
"I set out to sea, in search of prosperity;
When a raging storm washed me up and I thought I was home."

Gulliver:
"Awakened on a sandy land when I heard a man yell..."

Little Men:
"Stay away! A giant monster crashed our shore. Tie him to the ground, don't let him go."

Gulliver:
"Had to show the people of the land where my intentions stand, started by telling my tale."

Little Men:
"He left behind his wife and little kid."

Gulliver:
"Battleships all packed with cannons, coming to destroy their land."

Little Men:
"We agreed to set you free, but in return you'll fight those enemies."

Gulliver:
"'Traitor shouts were thrown my way, when I let their enemies slip away.
Overheard their leaders say..."

Little Men:
"We should poison him or make him blind."

Narrator:
And back again to the seas where the wind took his wooden raft away.
Fighting the raging storms and wondering where will be his next stay?
Laid his sail down as he discovered an island ahead,
To land on shores where mighty giants dwelled.

Gulliver:
"Looked around me, saw a giant farmer took me to his home,
Asked his daughter to conceal me until he could present me to the queen;
I was safe and sheltered."


Giant Farmer:
"Fetch Gulliver, I shall take him to the queen."

Gulliver:
"Astounded the queen was of my tiny size,
She grew fonder of me and I was requested to entertain her instead of her jester,
Ignoring his presence and pushing him further away."

Narrator:
Jealousy filled the jester's heart when he was ignored and thrown away.

Gulliver:
"With his evil laugh, I found myself mired with death and it felt like it was my last day."

Gulliver:
"Farmer's daughter came to my rescue; saving me from my deadly fate.
Leading me to the open seas, I was asked to flee and sail away."

Gulliver:
"I was lost with nothing but the stars to guide my way,
Lifeless lay there."

Sailor:
"A wooden raft to the port side, Captain!"

Gulliver:
"Sailors took me back home."

Judge:
"Gulliver, heed my words. What will become of your family?
A desolate widow, fatherless children?!"

Gulliver:
"I swear I tell the truth, your honor!"

Judge:
"Very well then, we shall review your case next year at the same time.
Guards, take him back to his cell."

Narrator:
His child enters the room, holding a tiny box,
And walks slowly to the judge;
Revealing the thread of evidence solely left;
A little sheep from a little fellowman he kept.
