Beauty sat bathing by a spring where fairest shades did hide her...
|
The winds blew calm, the birds did sing, the cool streams ran beside her.
|
My wanton thoughts enticed mine eye to see what was forbidden,
|
But better memory said "fie" so vain desire was chidden.
|
|
Hey, nonny nonny, oh, hey nonny nonny.
|
Hey, nonny nonny, oh, hey nonny nonny.
|
|
Into a slumber then I fell when fond imagination,
|
Seemed to see but could not tell her feature or her fashion.
|
But e'vn as babes in dreams do smile and sometimes fall a-weeping,
|
So I awaked as wise this while as when I fell a-sleeping.
|
|
Hey, nonny nonny, oh, hey nonny nonny.
|
Hey, nonny nonny, oh, hey nonny nonny.
|
|
Say, man, are you down for doing something positive in the community?
|
No, I don't think I'll ever do that again.
|
Well, ain't you worried about doing the right thing?
|
Well, I don't care if I hey-nonny-nonny-nonny-ho-nonny-nonny-nonny...
