GUEST,Holly Lyr Req: The Second Minuet (Dowdon, Besly) (39) RE: Lyr Req: The Second Minuet 06 Apr 08


i'm fourteen and in my school choir and i sang that song for my competition, it goes like this:

My granny used to say to me when i was very small
that she remembered well the day she went to her first ball
how in her dress of crinoline she sat from two til eight
and how through all those hours she wept for fear she might be late
and grand papa and grand mama had never even met
when grand papa asked grand mama for the second minuet

The hall she said was like a dream of blue and gold and red
and grand mama was quite the belle at least so grandma said
and all the men were very smart in coats of every hue
but one the fairest of them all was dressed in palest blue
and grand mama and grand papa had never even met
when grand papa asked grand mama for the second

when grand papa came passing by and chanced to turn his head
he fell at once in love with her at least so grandma said
but that is all about the ball that i to tell you dare
cos grand mama and grand papa are sleeping over there
but grand papa and grand mama had never even met
when granf papa kissed grand mama in the second minuet.
