[00:04.67]Saint Geneiveve Saint Geneiveve,
[00:09.02]It’s Guinivere remember me?
[00:12.31]Saint Geneiveve Saint Geneiveve,
[00:16.11]I’m over here, beneath this tree
[00:20.64]You know how faithful and devote i am
[00:24.16]You must admit i have always been a lamb
[00:27.62]But Geneiveive Saint Geneiveve,
[00:31.62]I wont obey you any more
[00:33.73]You’ve gone a bit too far
[00:35.31]I wont be bid and bargained for
[00:37.17]Like beads in a bazarre
[00:38.42]Saint Geneiveve I’ve run away
[00:40.03]Eluded them and fled
[00:41.43]And from now on i intend to pray on some one else instead
[00:48.48]Oh, Geneiveve Saint Geneiveve,
[00:52.95]Where were you when my youth was sold?
[00:56.39]Dear Geneivev, Sweet Geneiveve
[01:00.84]Shant i be young before I’m old?
[01:13.39]Where are the simple joys of maidenhood?
[01:18.58]Where are all those adoring daring boys?
[01:24.58]Where’s the knight pining so for me
[01:28.18]He leaps to death in woe for me?
[01:31.60]Oh where are a maiden’s simple joys?
[01:37.33]Shan’t I have the normal life a maiden should?
[01:42.97]Shall I never be rescued in the wood?
[01:48.96]Shall two knights never tilt for me
[01:52.36]And let their blood be spilt for me?
[01:55.81]Oh where are the simple joys of maidenhood?
[02:02.14]Shall I not be on a pedestal,
[02:05.22]Worshipped and competed for?
[02:08.37]Not be carried off, or better st’ll,
[02:11.41]Cause a little war?
[02:17.05]Where are the simple joys of maidenhood?
[02:22.38]Are those sweet, gentle pleasures gone for good?
[02:28.33]Shall a feud not begin for me?
[02:32.29]Shall kith not kill their kin for me?
[02:35.15]Oh where are the trivial joys?
[02:39.36]Harmless, convivial joys?
[02:43.81]Where are the simple joys of maidenhood?
