From Sheridan's "The Rivals"

Abs. Spoke like a man! But pray, Bob, I observe you have got an odd kind of a new method of swearing—
Acres. Ha! ha! you've taken notice of it—'tis genteel, isn't it!—I didn't invent it myself though; but a commander in our militia, a great scholar, I assure you, says that there is no meaning in the common oaths, and that nothing but their antiquity makes them respectable; because, he says, the ancients would never stick to an oath or two, but would say, by Jove! or by Bacchus! or by Mars! or by Venus! or by Pallas, according to the sentiment: so that to swear with propriety, says my little major, the oath should be an echo to the sense; and this we call the oath referential, or sentimental swearing—ha! ha! 'tis genteel, isn't it.
Abs. Very genteel, and very new, indeed!—and I dare say will supplant all other figures of imprecation.
Acres. Ay, ay, the best terms will grow obsolete.—Damns have had their day.

Sorry, wrong thread! (I wondered where it had gone)


So I'd better post something relevant. Let me see ...


If you could have married the king's daughter dear
I'm sure you are to blame
For I am married to the house carpenter
And he is a fine young man

It was a teenage wedding and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the madamoiselle

So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take anymore.....

On the sheer face of love
Like a fly on the wall
It's no secret at all.....

Now haying is over and harvest draws near,
We'll send to the alehouse to brew some strong beer,
We'll cut down our corn, boys, and roll it along,
We'll take it to the barn, boys, and keep it from harm

God damn them all, I was told
This beer was worth its weight in gold
We'd feel no pain, shed no tears
But it's a foolish man who shows no fear
At a glass of Garnet's home-made beer

Silence is golden
but my eyes still see.

(Please note that my contributions to this thread are apt to become increasingly simplistic and/or subject to errors of memory. I've found that Googling up lyrics to insure accuracy can lead to sites that are really just fronts for adware/spyware/hijackware dowloaders. Screw the bastards. All the songs I really need lyrics to are probably in the DT anyway.)

she'd like to stay

Well my daddy left home when I was three
Didn't leave much for me and me
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze
Now I don't blame him 'cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that he ever did
Was before he left he went and named me Sue
