A Greek Slave Nothing But Nerves
Song No. 26
Heliodorus and Chorus
SONG— Heliodorus
- Heliodorus:
- I've had a j-j-jolly d-d-day,
- But though I am a b-b-bit elated,
- Don't think from what I s-s-s-s-say,
- I'm in-t-t-toxi-c-c-cated!
- I look at the one and I see a p-p-pair,
- I catch at sp-sp-spiders and I miss 'em;
- And when I g-g-gaze on maidens fair
- I want to k-k-k-k-k-k-kiss 'em!
- Chorus:
- He wants to k-k-k-k-k-k-kiss 'em!
- Heliodorus:
-
- But it's n-n-n-nothing but n-n-n-nerves
- That's making me walk in these c-c-c-curves,
- Don't think I'm a shammer
- To st-t-t-tammer,
- I s-s-s-suffer from n-n-n-nerves!
- To w-w-walk along the st-st-street,
- You d-d-don't know what it r-resembles;
- With p-p-pins and needles in your feet
- And in your kn-kn-knees the t-t-trembles;
- I c-c-cling to every w-w-wall,
- Embrace each p-p-pllar that is set up;
- For if I ch-ch-chanced to f-f-fall,
- How should I g-g-g-g-g-g-get up?
- Chorus:
- How could he g-g-g-g-g-g-get up?
- Heliodorus:
-
- But it's n-n-n-nothing but n-n-n-nerves
- That's making me walk in these c-c-c-curves,
- Don't think I'm a shammer
- To st-t-t-tammer,
- I s-s-s-suffer from n-n-n-nerves!
- It's hard to f-f-find one's d-d-door,
- When s-s-something has p-p-perplex'd one;
- I've always walk'd in st-st-straight before,
- Today I got inside the n-n-next one.
- I hadn't t-t-time to look around,
- When someone c-c-cover'd me with kisses,
- And in my arms I f-f-f-f-found
- Another f-f-fellow's m-m-missis.
- Chorus:
- Another f-f-fellow's m-m-missis.
- Heliodorus:
-
- But it's n-n-n-nothing but n-n-n-nerves
- That's making me walk in these c-c-c-curves,
- Don't think I'm a shammer
- To st-t-t-tammer,
- I s-s-s-suffer from n-n-n-nerves!
