Artist/Band: Violent Femmes
Lyrics for Song: Hey Nonny Nonny
Lyrics for Album: Why Do Birds Sing? [1991]



Beauty sat bathing by a spring where fairest shades did hide her

the winds blew calm the birds did sing the cool streams ran beside her

my wanton thoughts enticed mine eye to see what was forbidden

but better memory said "fie" so vain desire was chidden

hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonny

hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonnie

into a slumber then I fell when fond imagination

seemed to see but could not tell her feature or her fashion

but e'vn as babes in dreams do smile and sometimes fall a weeping

so I awaked as wise this while as when I fell a-sleeping

hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonny

hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonnie

say man are you down for doing something positive in the community?

no i don't think I'll ever do that again

well ain't you worried about doing the right thing?

well I don't care if I hey nonny nonny nonny ho nonny nonny nonny
