12 Sep 10 - 05:43 AM (#2984958) Subject: Lyr Add: THE SONG OF TEMPTATION (Paddy Tunney) From: GUEST,Fred McCormick Cookieless This is the one. From Tunney's book, The Stone Fiddle. Tunney claimed he got it from one William Monaghon of Tullyhasson. THE SONG OF TEMPTATION 1. When the small birds of the outer air, They sport with one another, Then why should you and me defer To sport all gay together? Good music, sir, would make one dance Unless their limbs would fail them. I fear your wear some damp must bear Or surely you'd reveal them. CHORUS: With me did-dery darn ada, With my diddery dum a da With me diddery dum a daddle dee a dideo. 2. For naked we came on this earth And naked we'll go under, So why wear clothes and costly hose To hide the heights of wonder? Great Adam when he wooed his Eve, No ring she wore or diamond, But naked they did sport and play All round the Horn of Hymen. 3. O maiden fair, with me forbear. Don't talk with tongue of fire, For Holy Writ will never quit To purge us of desire; For chastity's a beacon bright That beams throughout the ages To guide us on the darkest night When the storm of passion rages. 4. Since free will is a gift divine For man's emancipation, Free love's a draught of Cupid's wine To tease us with temptation; For laws and rules were made for fools. Each day they're getting stricter; So come with me. We'll sport in glee. Let Venus be the victor. 5. When David turned from God and grace, No armies did applaud him; And none were saved in that depraved And sinful city Sodom; And look you then to storied Troy: What led to its destruction But vengeances for vice of rape And ravishing seduction? 6. King Solomon, that monarch wise, Wooed thrice three hundred lovers. He had wives and queens and concubines, The Scripture it uncovers. Let curving breasts be your fond quests, And yield to female charms, And lie one long and lusty night, All naked in my arms. 7. Begone, you slut! Heaven is shut To all such fornicators, To strumpets, whores and harlots all, Likewise abominators. Matrimony was God's command And matrimonial station. Without ado they then withdrew. This was their conversation. |
