Wriggles from his captor's arms
Mr Speaker gets the word and
Running now from the alarms
Speaks his mind free as a bird

 Free now to roam around
Stand up straight when he quotes
Spread the word that he has found
Books of verse and scribbled notes

 Mr Speaker gets the word to tell the secrets he has heard
Speaks so fast his words are slurred
Mr Speaker gets the word

 Stands up straight outside my door
I bring you now the words I've learned
To whom it may concern, senor
Tell my friends I have returned

 Mr Speaker gets the word to tell the secrets he has heard
Speaks so fast his words are slurred
Mr Speaker gets the word

 Excitement rages through his brain
Stirred and stirred throughout the years
Not enough time to explain
Eyes of many sighs of fear

 Making space from Colney Hatch Lane
Just some poetry my friend
Scuttles past my window frame
Vanishes right round the bend

 Mr Speaker gets the word to tell the secrets he has heard
Speaks so fast his words are slurred
Mr Speaker gets the word
