| [00:09.81] |
I have a tale, but not a tail |
| [00:13.74] |
Like felius domesticum |
| [00:16.20] |
|
| [00:18.20] |
It's of a girl, a real girl |
| [00:21.99] |
I'm calling by her real name |
| [00:25.06] |
|
| [00:26.54] |
And thus began |
| [00:33.25] |
A summer camp sonnet |
| [00:37.53] |
She saw a boy who would soon be |
| [00:40.56] |
A bee in her teenage bonnet |
| [00:43.60] |
Nina and her very long hair |
| [00:48.00] |
Held a torch that got her nowhere |
| [00:51.60] |
She hit him with a thunderbolt smile |
| [00:55.27] |
Every thing she had she threw |
| [00:58.38] |
Every dress and every shoe |
| [01:00.52] |
Nina and her very long hair |
| [01:04.66] |
Held a torch that got her nowhere |
| [01:08.56] |
As hard as she tried |
| [01:11.84] |
He never looked twice |
| [01:13.87] |
He never did see the light, |
| [01:16.36] |
And end the plight of Nina |
| [01:18.16] |
|
| [01:25.97] |
Sometimes a film, comes over me, |
| [01:29.84] |
Like a cold cup of tea |
| [01:32.29] |
And I forget, what I was set |
| [01:38.27] |
To snag and bag, grab and seize |
| [01:41.08] |
|
| [01:42.51] |
At seventeen |
| [01:49.13] |
She was still reeling |
| [01:53.58] |
She went to camp |
| [01:54.97] |
With a comb and a tent |
| [01:56.98] |
And that same old feeling |
| [01:59.51] |
Nina and her very long hair |
| [02:03.75] |
Held a torch that got her nowhere |
| [02:07.69] |
She hit him with a thunderbolt smile |
| [02:12.37] |
Every thing she had she threw |
| [02:14.41] |
Every dress and every shoe |
| [02:16.47] |
Nina and her very long hair |
| [02:20.52] |
Held a torch that got her nowhere |
| [02:24.56] |
As hard as she tried |
| [02:27.71] |
He never looked twice |
| [02:29.76] |
He never did see the light, |
| [02:32.09] |
And end the plight of Nina |
| [02:34.05] |
|
| [02:42.01] |
And so she snipped, |
| [02:43.64] |
She cut and she clipped |
| [02:45.68] |
Enough to thatch a cottage roof |
| [02:50.34] |
And once she'd preened, |
| [02:52.92] |
She glowed and she gleamed |
| [02:54.97] |
Off she set to make him swoon |
| [02:57.88] |
|
| [02:59.20] |
She was the girl with very short hair, |
| [03:02.40] |
That got her nowhere |
| [03:05.39] |
|
| [03:12.34] |
End |
