Текст песни «Lehrer Tom - Clementine»

Here's a sample of his work - he rewrote part of "Clementine" in the style of
Gilbert and Sullivan. It works best if you read it out loud quickly:

That I missed her depressed her
Young sister named Esther
This mister to pester she tried,
Now a pestering sister's
A festering blister,
You'd best to resist her say I.

The mister resisted,
The sister persisted,
I kissed her - all loyalty slipped.
When she said I could have her
Her sister's cadaver
Must surely have turned in its crypt!

Yes yes yes yeeeeees....

But I love she
And she loves me
Enraptured are the both of we,
Yes I love she
And she loves I....
And will through all Eterni-tye!

Tom Lehrer, "That was the Year that Was"
