lyrics

As the leaves fell down on Bialik
Town, on a wept-stridden morning.
I overheard a plaintive man, was
lamenting for his Evelyn.

"My Evelyn should be hanged on
a Keirin chain, above the dittany.
The apple of my eye all cycle-
clipped. Oh, I blush and blench."

Go bridle me my milk-white steed,
Go bridle me my fixed-wheel.
Hold fast for weal or woe, and
stay the hand of vengeance.

"Go away from my window sill,
The pie there is cooling down.
Leave me to loll my tongue, and
lay by the chimney flues."

At two weddings did Evelyn dance; tug,
tow, and pilotage. No need to cleave the
air, like horses in the new morning clover.

"A man about town have I become,
And not for bread alone. What
can't be said cannot be said,
And it can't be whistled either."
