What is a youth? Impetuous fire

What is a maid? Ice and desire

The world wags on

A rose will bloom

It then will fade

So does a youth

So do-o-o-oes the fairest maid

Comes a time when one sweet smile

Has its season for a while...Then love's in love with me

Some they think only to marry. Others will tease and tarry

Mine is the very best parry. Cupid he rules us all

Caper the cape, but sing me the song

Death will come soon to hush us along

Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall

Love is a task and it never will pall

Sweeter than honey... And bitter as gall

Cupid he rules us all
