Drip Drip Drip Went The Waterfall 1915

In a quiet nook
near a babbling brook
sat a boy and a maid one day,
Where violets blue
in shy modesty grew,
they were wiling the hours away,
she longed for the day
when she'd go far away
to a little nook all her own,
And the little birds above
heard him tell her of his love
and they thought they were alone:

And the waterfall went drip drip drip
as he said: "I love you so,
My love is deeper, dearie,
Deeper than the pool below,"
And the dragon flies
went zst zst zst
all the air with love was full,
as he murmured:
"Like the brook goes to an ocean
so will it be with my devotion,"
Drip drip went the waterfall
and the bull frogs all said: "Bull!"

And the waterfall went drip drip drip
as he said: "I love you so,
My love is deeper, dearie,
Deeper than the pool below,"
And the dragon flies
went zst zst zst
all the air with love was full,
as he murmured:
"Like the brook goes to an ocean
so will it be with my devotion,"
Drip drip went the waterfall
and the bull frogs all said: "Bull!"

All the busy bees
and the birds in the trees
heard the wonderful vows he made,
they'd heard the same thing
ev'ry day ev'ry spring
in that nook in the silv'ry glade,
they knew bye and bye
she'd believe and she'd sigh,
as he gathered her to his heart,
and the little birds above
knew it wasn't really love
for they both were far too smart:

And the waterfall went drip drip drip
as he said: "I love you so,
My love is deeper, dearie,
Deeper than the pool below,"
And the dragon flies
went zst zst zst
all the air with love was full,
as he murmured:
"Like the brook goes to an ocean
so will it be with my devotion,"
Drip drip went the waterfall
and the bull frogs all said: "Bull!"

And the waterfall went drip drip drip
as he said: "I love you so,
My love is deeper, dearie,
Deeper than the pool below,"
And the dragon flies
went zst zst zst
all the air with love was full,
as he murmured:
"Like the brook goes to an ocean
so will it be with my devotion,"
Drip drip went the waterfall
and the bull frogs all said: "Bull!"
