The Simple Joys of Maidenhood - 1961 - Camelot

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 22 Sept 2001

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 still,
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?
