And all these stupid silly songs
|
Keep trying to catch your ear
|
I'm trying desperately
|
It's just so hard to persevere
|
And even if you listened
|
I never had much to say
|
Cause it's the same old song
|
I've written for the day
|
|
Shelter me oh genius words
|
Just give me strength
|
Just to pen these things
|
And give me peace to well her wings
|
And oh, oh carry on all you minstrels of the world
|
We will catch our ladies ear
|
We will win for us the girl
|
|
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 difference never know
|
|
Shelter me oh genius words
|
Just give me strength
|
Just to pen these things
|
And give me peace to well her wings
|
And oh, oh carry on all you minstrels of the world
|
We will catch our ladies ear
|
We will win for us the girl
|
|
And I'll hold on to the dream
|
Of this beggar's plea and optimistic fantasy
|
Just hold the hand and drop the knee
|
You're facing love
|
You're embracing melody
|
|
Shelter me oh genius words
|
Just give me strength
|
Just to pen these things
|
And give me peace to well her wings
|
And oh, oh carry on all you minstrels of the world
|
We will catch our ladies ear
|
We will win for us the girl
|
|
And carry on, oh carry on all you minstrels of the world
|
We will catch our ladies ear
|
We will win for us the girl
|
