Lyrics:
the ribbons and bows
Things to remember, places to go
Pretty maids all in a row
Ooo ooo ooo
Ooo ooo ooo
Ooo ooo ooo
Ooo ooo ooo
Ooo ooo ooo
Ooo ooo ooo
Ooo
On a Sunday morn sat a maid forlorn
With her sweetheart by her side,
Through the windowpane, she looked at the rain,
"We must stay home, Joe,"
Let's take the phone off the hook
Turn the lights way down low
Baby put down that book
Tell the maid to go
Do not disturb
Hang the sign on the door
It seems like a dream, yet I know it happened
A man, a maid, a kiss, and then goodbye
Romance was the theme
And we were the players
I never think
Maids pass gracefully in laughter
Wine colored flowers in their hair
Last call from lands I've never been to
I think that maybe I'm dreaming
Sun's flash
a story that the swamp folks tell
About a mean old man named Jesse Langtree
And a sweet young maid and a bottomless well
That water's cold but that don't
yes or no
And then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid
And took her oh so far away but ol' Kaw-Liga stayed
Kaw-Liga too stubborn
And she gave me the name of the Restless One.
Then I strolled into a tavern in that frozen land afar
Where I met a beautiful Indian maid, she was known
Kaw-Liga well he never got a kiss
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he don't know what he missed
And then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid
He took her oh
identity I found.
Said I was born elite, with maids and servants at my feet.
I must have been insane,
I lied and said my mom died on a weekend trip
poodle
I want to play with your poodle
I mean your little poodle dog!
Yes, two old maids that were layin' in a bed
Well, one turned over, this is
It seems like a dream, yet I know it happened
A man, a maid, a kiss, and then goodbye
Romance was the theme
And we were the players
I never think
It seems like a dream, yet I know it happened
A man, a maid, a kiss, and then goodbye
Romance was the theme
And we were the players
I never think
The cook she is a whore
Yes, the butler has a place for her
Behind the pantry door
The maid, she's French, she's got no sense
She's wild for Crazy Horse
*ESTHER*
Down in the jungles lived a maid
Of royal blood though dusky shade
*TOOTIE*
A marked impression once she made
Upon a Zulu
*ESTHER*
the Greenwood
Sweet Maid Marion, don't you do me no wrong,
Stay on the right side, the Greenwood is your home,
The dancing girls and the open fires,
the celebration
Sending his thoughts to a beloved maid
Whose ebony face is beyond communication
The captain is down but still believing that his love will be
dreaming
Maids pass gracefully in laughter
Wine coloured flowers in their hair
Last call from lands I've never been to
I think that maybe I'm dreaming
tales of how it used to be
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman
With the butler and the maid and the servants three
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman
poodle,
I want to play with your poodle,
I mean your little poodle dog!
Yes, two old maids that were layin' in a bed,
Well, one turned over, this is
tonight on Desolation Row
Ophelia, she's 'neath the window, for her I feel so afraid
On her twenty-second birthday she already is an old maid
Now to her,
When I was a young man courting the girls
I played me a waiting game
If a maid refused me with tossing curls
I'd let the old Earth take a couple
A boy found a dream upon a distant shore
A maid with a way of whispering "si senor."
Each night while guitars would softly play,
The tune seemed
When I was a young man courting the girls
I played me a waiting game
If a maid refused me with tossing curls
I'd let the old Earth make a couple
