the simple joys of maidenhood


Where are the simple joys of maidenhood?

Where are all those adoring, daring boys?

Where's the knight pining so for me

He leaps to death in woe for me?

Oh, where are a maiden's simple joys?


Shan't I have the normal life a maiden should?

Shall I never be rescued in the wood?

Shall two knights never tilt for me

And let their blood be spilt for me?

Oh, where are the simple joys of maidenhood?


Shall I not be on a pedestal

Worshipped and competed for?

Not be carried off, or better st'll

Cause a little war?


Where are the simple joys of maidenhood?

Are those sweet, gentle pleasures gone for good?

Shall a feud not begin for me?

Shall kith not kill their kin for me?

Oh, where are the trivial joys

Harmless, convivial joys

Where are the simple joys of maidenhood?


oh, how I love "Camelot"...
