Violent Femmes - Hey Nonny Nonny Lyrics
Beauty sat bathing by a spring where fairest shades did hide herThe winds blew calm the birds did sing the cool streams ran beside herMy wanton thoughts enticed mine eye to see what was forbiddenBut better memory said fie so vain desire was chiddenHey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonnyHey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonnieInto a slumber then I fell when fond imaginationSeemed to see but could not tell her feature or her fashionBut evn as babes in dreams do smile and sometimes fall a weepingSo I awaked as wise this while as when I fell a-sleepingHey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonnyHey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonnieSay man are you down for doing something positive in the community?No I dont think Ill ever do that againWell aint you worried about doing the right thing?Well I dont care if I hey nonny nonny nonny ho nonny nonny nonnyGordon gano: vocal acoustic & electric guitarBrian ritchie: acoustic bass guitar, vocalVictor delorenzo: brushed snare drum, tambourine, shakers, vocalMixed by david vartanian gorno music reprinted with permission
