andrea boccadoro - humphrey bell lyrics

[verse 1]
humphrey bell! who is this comely youth?
mayhap a little shy
but pleasing to the eye
his eyes, (his eyes) his hair, (his hair) his shapely form, (his shapely form) forsooth. (forsooth)
has he a sweetheart? pray tell us the truth

[verse 2]
humphrey bell! to play a leading dame
you must pay the price
of looking thin and nice
drink of (drink of) your fear! (your fear) feast on (feast on) your guilt (your guilt) and shame! (and shame)
lest you be judged and we accord you blame

[verse 3]
humphrey bell! art is its own reward
for is it not enough
to be by fans adored?
for you, (for you) we sigh, (we sigh) we weep, (we weep) we drool (we drool) and swoon (and swoon)
when we see you entering the room

[verse 4]
humphrey bell! you must not take so ill
for though your beauty does fade
we do adore you still
our eyes (our eyes) so wide! (so wide) our thoughts (our thoughts) so un (so un) refined! (refined)
at the sight of your shapely behind
[verse 5]
humphrey bell! your time upon the stage
grows nearer to its end
as you advance in age
but hold! (but hold) no tears! (no tears) calm down! (calm down) resign (resign) your fears! (your fears)
you’re just too old to earn a living wage

[verse 6]
humphrey bell! our thoughts we must disclose
though your acting is fine
you wear too many clothes
‘tis hot! (’tis hot) pray bide! (pray bide) fuss not! (fuss not) sit down! (sit down) recline! (recline)
upon this couch and take a little wine
