The Lyrics
They’d put a geld on you
In olden times.
They’d lop ’em off—first hew, then hue:
you’d be cryin’,
be really cryin’
because they’d demanned ya
so you could lay down
a castrato chant, ya
wouldn’t be tenor- or alto-bound
after the geld on you.
In olden times,
“high” times.
They’d grab you,
then they’d hew,
then you’d hue,
then like Sue you would sound. . .
a high-pitched air
way past middle C—
where you’d be bound. . .
like shrieking!
After the geld on you,
no “oaken” times.
In olden times.
They’d lop ’em off—first hew, then hue:
you’d be cryin’,
be really cryin’
because they’d demanned ya
so you could lay down
a castrato chant, ya
wouldn’t be tenor- or alto-bound
after the geld on you.
In olden times,
“high” times.
They’d grab you,
then they’d hew,
then you’d hue,
then like Sue you would sound. . .
a high-pitched air
way past middle C—
where you’d be bound. . .
like shrieking!
After the geld on you,
no “oaken” times.
