[Millicent:]
Horatio, do you remember?
[Meebles:]
My dearest, how could I forget?
[Millicent:]
In Springtime we roamed through the meadows,
[Meebles:]
My boots got uncommonly wet!
[Millicent:]
The lambkins were frisking all round us,
The birds carolled early and late.
[Meebles:]
The thingummys peeped from the what-nots,
And the gay umpy-doodleum called to its mate!
[Both:]
O, that we two were Maying,
As in the days of yore;
[Millicent:]
Roaming the dim, shady copses,
[Meebles:]
Dodging the gnats and the wopses.
[Both:]
Over the hills together,
Happily we would stray,
[Meebles:]
we would stray.
[Millicent:]
While the lark was a-hovering over its nest,
And the wind came a-whispering out of the west,
[Meebles:]
And I wished I'd been wearing a much thicker vest
[Both:]
In the merry, merry, merry month of May!
[Millicent:]
And when the long day full of rapture
[Meebles:]
Was drawing at last to its close,
[Millicent:]
Then homeward we strolled in the twilight,
[Meebles:]
While cock-chafers buzzed round my nose.
[Millicent:]
All Nature was sinking to slumber,
But naught of the hour did we reck,
[Meebles:]
A nanny-goat kissed me good evening,
And an Alderney cow came and sobbed down my neck.
[Both:]
O, that we two were Maying,
As in the days of yore;
[Millicent:]
Taking such long, lovely rambles,
[Meebles:]
Catching our toes in the brambles.
[Both:]
Over the hills together,
Happily we would stray,
[Meebles:]
we would stray.
[Millicent:]
While the nightingale warbled a soft lullaby,
And the stars one by one twinkled out in the sky.
[Meebles:]
And we sat on a gate where the paint wasn't dry.
[Both:]
In the merry, merry, merry month of May!
In the merry, merry, merry month of May!
