| all these minstrels through the ages
that is really all we are
simply singing for the girl
that makes us try so very hard
to craft the perfect limerick
to wield unending woe
to write such silly songs and the different never know
shelter me oh genius words,
just give me strength
just to pen these things
give me peace to well her wings
and ohOh carry on all you minstrels of the world
we will catch our ladies ear
we will win for us the girl. |
