Letra
First time l saw the Baron's claw,
Heads poking round the terrace door
Made of silver and gold and bits of iron ore,
Well we all said 'Cor'
They had just installed the first phone,
In the office of the Baron's home,
& Silhouetted by the fire we saw -
the phone in the claw,
And all the children cried (with joy)
and they'd run alongside when the big old car sped by -
steered by the Baron's claw..
Next time I saw the Baron's claw,
Slashing its way through the grocers door,
He saved the family from the fire's roar,
Staggered into the street..
Skin peeled off on the street,
The Baron stayed on his feet,
Holding aloft his claw,
Awaiting the villagers applause
The day the Baron died..
children ran alongside,
The big black car went by,
Carrying the Baron's claw
And as we grow old,
Don't we forget what we're told.
So we forget what we know,
About the Baron's claw
And as we grow old,
We all forget what we're told.
We all forget what we know,
About the Baron's claw
Remembering the Baron's claw
He had it made after the first great war,
Gold and Silver and bits of Iron Ore,
The Baron's Claw
