| No. 2: Song (Woodpecker) | |
 |
MIDI File [20Kb, 3' 16"] |
| Woodpecker. | ||||
| Maria is simple and chaste — | ||||
| She's pretty and tender and modest — | ||||
| But on one or two matters of taste | ||||
| Her views are distinctly the oddest. | ||||
| Her virtue is something sublime — | ||||
| No kissing — on that there's a stopper — | ||||
| When I try, she says "All in good time — | ||||
| At present it's highly improper, Improper, it's strictly improper." |
||||
| Such virtue heroic I call, | ||||
| To complain were the act of a noodle | ||||
| She's allowed to kiss no one at all | ||||
| But her cousin — her cousin, young Foodle. | ||||

| Now a maiden could never offend | ||||||
| By embracing her father or brother; | ||||||
| But I never could quite comprehend | ||||||
| Why cousins should kiss one another. | ||||||
| Of course it's an innocent whim — | ||||||
| Beneath it no mischief is hidden. | ||||||
| But why is that given to him | ||||||
| Which to me is so strictly forbidden, Forbidden, so strictly forbidden? |
||||||
| It's as innocent as it can be; | ||||||
| He's a kind of performing French poodle, | ||||||
| But why withhold kisses from me | ||||||
| Which are freely accorded to Foodle? | ||||||
