They may talk of love in a cottageA
And bowers of trellised vineB
Of nature bewitchingly simpleC
And milkmaids half divineB
They may talk of the pleasure of sleepingD
In the shade of a spreading treeE
And a walk in the fields at morningD
By the side of a footstep freeE
-
But give me a sly flirtationF
By the light of a chandelierG
With music to play in the pausesH
And nobody very nearG
Or a seat on a silken sofaI
With a glass of pure old wineB
And mamma too blind to discoverJ
The small white hand in mineB
-
Your love in a cottage is hungryE
Your vine is a nest for fliesK
Your milkmaid shocks the GracesL
And simplicity talks of piesK
You lie down to your shady slumberJ
And wake with a bug in your earM
And your damsel that walks in the morningD
Is shod like a mountaineerG
-
True love is at home on a carpetN
And mightily likes his easeO
And true love has an eye for a dinnerJ
And starves beneath shady treesO
His wing is the fan of a ladyE
His foot's an invisible thingD
And his arrow is tipped with a jewelC
And shot from a silver stringD
