gilbert and sullivan - on a tree by a river a little tom-tit lyrics

Loading...

[ko-ko]
on a tree by a river a little tom-t-t
sang “willow, t-twillow, t-twillow”
and i said to him, “d-cky-bird, why do you sit
singing ‘willow, t-twillow, t-twillow'”
“is it weakness of intellect, birdie?” i cried
“or a rather tough worm in your little inside”
with a shake of his poor little head, he replied
“oh, willow, t-twillow, t-twillow!”

he slapped at his chest, as he sat on that bough
singing “willow, t-twillow, t-twillow”
and a cold perspiration bespangled his brow
oh, willow, t-twillow, t-twillow
he sobbed and he sighed, and a gurgle he gave
then he plunged himself into the billowy wave
and an echo arose from the suicide’s grave
“oh, willow, t-twillow, t-twillow”

now i feel just as sure as i’m sure that my name
isn’t willow, t-twillow, t-twillow
that ’twas blighted affection that made him exclaim
“oh, willow, t-twillow, t-twillow”
and if you remain callous and obdurate, i
shall perish as he did, and you will know why
though i probably shall not exclaim as i die
“oh, willow, t-twillow, t-twillow”
