[The Cast of Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical, Emma Thompson, Lashana Lynch - The Hammer lyrics]
See how my trophies gleam in the sunlight?
See how they shine?
What do you think it took to become
English Hammer Throwing Champion 1959?
Do you think in that moment
When my big moment came
That I treated the rules
With casual disdain? Well? Like hell!
As I stepped up to the circle
Did I change my plan? Hmm? What?
As I chalked up my palms
Did I wave my hands? I did not!
As I started my spin, did I look at the view?
Did I drift off and dream
For a minute or two? Do you think I faltered
Or amended my rotation?
Do you think I altered my intended еlevation?
As the hammer took off, did I changе my grunt
From the grunt I had practiced
For many a month? Not a jot! Not a dot did
I stray from the plot!
Not a detail of my throw
Was adjusted or forgotten
Not even when the hammer left my hands
And sailed high up, up above the stands
Did I let myself go?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
She's done it! She is the best!
If you want to throw the
Hammer for your country
You have to stay inside the
Circle all the time
And if you want to make the team
You don't need happiness or self-esteem
You just need to keep your
Feet inside the line sing, children 2, 3, 4!
If you want to throw the
Hammer for your country
Bambinautm est magitum
You have to stay inside the
Circle all the time
Circulum magitum magitum
And if you want to teach success
You don't use sympathy or tenderness
Tenderness
You have to force the little
Squit's to toe the line! Sing, Jenny!
If you want to throw the
Hammer for your country
Bambinautm est magitum
You have to stay inside the
Circle all the time
Circulum Magitum Magitum!
Circulum est deus! Deus! Gloria!
Apply just one simple rule
To a hammer-throwing life at school:
Life's a ball, so learn to throw it
Find the bally line and toe it
And always keep your feet inside the line
Now, get out!
