How To Handle A Woman - Richard Harris (Camelot)

You swore that you had taught me everything from A to Z
With nary an omission in between
Well, I shall tell you what
You obviously forgot
That's how a ruler rules a....queen!

And what of teaching me by turning me to animal and bird"
From beaver to the smallest bobolink
I should have had the whirl
To change into a girl
To learn the way the creatures think!

But wasn't there a night
On a summer, long gone by
We passed a couple wrangling away
And did I not say 'Merlin, what if that chap were I"'

And did he not give counsel and say...
What was it now" My mind's a wall
Oh, yes, by Jove...now I recall

'How to handle a woman"
There's a way,' said the wise old man,
'A way known by ev'ry woman
Since the whole rigmarole began.'

'Do I flatter her"' I begged him answer.
'Do I threaten or cajole or plead"
Do I brood or play the gay romancer"'
Said he, smiling: 'No indeed.

How to handle a woman"
Mark me well, I will tell you, sir
The way to handle a woman
Is to love her...simply love her...
Merely love her...love her...love her.'

What's wrong, Jenny"
Where are you these days"
What are you thinking"
I don't understand you.
But no matter
Merlin told me once, never be too disturbed if you don't understand what a women is thinking,
They don't do it very often
But what do you do while they are doing it"

How to handle a woman?
Mark me well, I will tell you, sir
The way to handle a woman
Is to love her...simply love her...
Merely love her...love her...Oh just love her.'

Lavender's Blue (Dilly, Dilly) - traditional lyrics here

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, Lavender's green When you are King, dilly dilly, I shall be Queen

Who told you so, dilly dilly, Who told you so" 'Twas my own heart, dilly dilly, That told me so

Call up your friends, dilly, dilly Set them to work Some to the plough, dilly dilly, Some to the fork

Some to the hay, dilly dilly, Some to thresh corn Whilst you and I, dilly dilly, Keep ourselves warm

Lavender's green dilly, dilly Lavender's blue You must love me, dilly, dilly ?cause I love you.

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, Lavender's green When you are King, dilly dilly, I shall be Queen

For Justine

Will You Go, Lassie, Go' - The High Kings

Will ye go lassie, go" And we'll all go together To pluck wild mountain thyme All around the blooming heather Will ye go lassie, go"

I will build my love a bower Near yon pure crystal fountain And on it I will pile All the flowers of the mountain Will ye go lassie, go"

And we'll all go together To pluck wild mountain thyme All around the blooming heather Will ye go lassie, go"

If my true love she were gone I would surely find another Where wild mountain thyme Grows around the blooming heather Will ye go lassie, go"

And we'll all go together To pluck wild mountain thyme All around the blooming heather Will ye go lassie, go"

Oh, the summertime is coming And the trees are sweetly blooming And the wild mountain thyme Grows around the blooming heather Will ye go lassie, go"

And we'll all go together To pluck wild mountain thyme All around the blooming heather Will ye go lassie, go?

The sort of thing that must go through the High King's mind whenever he has to get his fellow monarchs to sit down together ...

Protocoligorically Correct - The Slipper & The Rose

Yes, we must be protocoligorically correct Good form must never suffer from neglect The rules and regulations we respect Must be treated circumspect Else the kingdom will be wrecked We've a system to protect Checked and double checked And protocoligorically correct

When its army is battered and broken And back to its borders it crawls To what clings a tottering kingdom If not to its protocols"

And when the treasury is tapped of its treasures Are the tapestries stripped from the walls? No, the court carries on with its pleasures Inquisitions and banquets and balls

But they must be protocoligorically correct Good form must never suffer from neglect The rules and regulations we respect Must be treated circumspect Else the kingdom will be wrecked We've a system to protect Checked and double checked And protocoligorically correct

This is My Beloved (from Kismet)

Dawn's promising skies Petals on a pool drifting Imagine these in one pair of eyes And this is my beloved

Strange spice from the south Honey through the comb sifting Imagine these in one eager mouth And this is my beloved

And when s/he speaks and when s/he talks to me Music! Mystery! And when s/he moves And when s/he walks with me Paradise comes suddenly near

All that can stir All that can stun All that's for the heart's lifting Imagine these in one perfect one

And this is my beloved And this is my beloved
