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

 Mister speaker gets the word
 (To tell the secrets he has heard)
 Speaks so fast his words are slurred
 (Mister 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

 Mister speaker gets the word
 (To tell the secrets he has heard)
 Speaks so fast his words are slurred
 (Mister 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

 Mister speaker gets the word
 (To tell the secrets he has heard)
 Speaks so fast his words are slurred
 (Mister speaker gets the word)
