<< Variations on a Familiar Theme | Pulchra Nympha Tu! | Fleebo the Dog Presented at Court >> |
- I was there in my canoe
- Beneath the periwinkle blue
- When I inevitably thought of you
- So what else could I do but sing this song?
- Soon the tune was strummin’
- Like my croonin’ an’ my hummin’
- Took an oddly antiquated skew
- They say a little learnin’ never does one wrong
- Exempli gratia:
- O, pulchra nympha tu!
- Parva pulchra nympha tu!
- Fac ut totem applecart
- Mori tua sine parte
- O, pulchra nympha tu
- Parva pulchra nympha tu
- Si me derelinques cor me dolet
- Teneam te ne te differangat
- O, o, o, o, pulchra nympha tu
- If the lyrics sound peculia
- Well, I wouldn’t try to fool ya
- It’s a language from the olden days
- The far-off Golden Days when Caesars ruled
- Back when togas were the fashion
- It was sung with loads of passion
- By the erudite and ardent beaus
- Goes to show those Romans were well schooled
- When they sang:
(This is a loose translation of the chorus. The author of this song obviously did not know Latin, because the lyrics are rhyming nonsense.)
- O , you beautiful bride!
- You small beautiful bride!
- To produce a totem applecart
- You die without a part
- O , you beautiful bride!
- You small beautiful bride!
- If only I desert my heart to chop it into shape
- I keep you truly you did postpone
- O , o, o, o, you beautiful bride!
