Bonny Brook

Some part with the wooden ladle, some with
 the silver spoon
 Most commit their days from August to
 the middle of June
 When it's dark by four and the queen next door
 is more than a house away
 not much time for proposition at the end of a stolen day
 Some will ask on one knee, others prefer two
 Most will avoid the use of a phone as a means
 of a rendezvous
 When it's dark by four and the queen next door
 is more than moat away
 Not much time to gather prose, what on earth
 could you say
 Because I never went to Bonny Brook
 I never met her there
 and daylight savings never saved me anything
 and Thanksgiving time never gave me anything
 and Autumn's peak only made me wish for Spring
 and the daylight, and the wealth of time
 for if I want to see her all I need to do is look
 to see her on her way back from Bonny Brook
 Some go in the morning, some in the afternoon
 Most are stuck in the same old trap till the fifteenth
 or so of June
 Our supper bell's at five and it's black outside
 that's sure to keep my prince at bay
 not much time for courtship, plus I'm tired anyway
 Because he never went ot Bonny Brook
 he never met me there
 and daylight savings never saved us anything
 and Thanksgiving time never gave us anything
 and Autumn's peak only made us wish for Spring
 and the daylight, and the wealth of time
 for if he wants to see me all he needs to do is look
 to see me on my way back from Bonny Brook
 I should write it down for what would I say
 a literate Shirley Temple would want it that way
 Tell me Mrs G is your girl's name with a C or a K
 It doesn't matter she's asleep anyway
 Because I never went to Bonny Brook
 I never met her there
 and daylight savings never saved me anything
 and Thanksgiving time never gave me anything
 and Autumn's peak only made me wish for Spring
 and the daylight, and the wealth of time
 for if I want to see her all I need to do is look
 to see her on her way back from Bonny Brook
