Tra la!
It's May!
The lusty month
Of May
That lovely month
When everyone goes
Blissfully astray
Tra la!
It's here!
That shocking time
Of year
When tons of
Wicked little
Thoughts
Merrily appear
It's May!
It's May!
That gorgeous
Holiday
When every maiden
Prays that her lad
Will be a cad
It's mad!
It's gay
A libelous display
Those dreary vows
That everyone takes
Everyone breaks
Everyone makes
Divine mistakes
The lusty month
Of May!
Whence this
Fragrance
Wafting through
The air
What sweet feeling
Does its scent
Transmute
Whence this perfume
Floating everywhere
Don't you know it's
That dear
Forbidden fruit!
Tra la la la la
That dear
Forbidden fruit
Tra la la la la
Tra la la la la
Tra la la la la
Tra la la la la
Tra la
Tra la
Tra la
Tra la
Tra la la
La la
La la
La la, La
It's May!
The lusty month
Of May!
That darling month
When everyone
Throws
Self control away
It's time to do a
Wretched thing
Or two
And try to make each
Precious day one
You'll always rue
It's May! it's May!
The month of,
"Yes, you may"
The time for every
Frivolous whim
Proper or "im"
It's wild, it's gay!
A blot in every way
The birds and bees
With all of their vast
Amorous past
Gaze at the
Human race, aghast
The lusty month
Of May!
Tra la! it's May!
The lusty month
Of May
That lovely month
When everyone goes
Blissfully astray
Tra la! it's here!
That shocking time
Of year
When tons of
Wicked little
Thoughts
Merrily appear
It's May! it's May!
It's May! it's May!
The month of
Great dismay
When all the world
Is brimming
With fun
Wholesome or "un"
It's mad! it's gay!
A libelous display
Those dreary vows
That everyone takes
Everyone breaks
Everyone makes
Divine mistakes
The lusty month
Of May...!
