| What is a youth? | |
| Impetuous fire. | |
| What is a maid? | |
| Ice and desire. | |
| The world wags on | |
| A rose will bloom, | |
| It then will fade | |
| So does a youth. | |
| So does the fairest maid. | |
| Comes a time when one sweet smile | |
| Has it's season for awhile | |
| Then Love's in love with me | |
| Some may think only to marry. | |
| Others will tease and tarry. | |
| Mine is the very best parry, | |
| Cupid he rules us all. | |
| Caper the caper; sing me the song | |
| Death will come soon to hush us along | |
| Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall, | |
| Love is a pass-time that never will pall. | |
| Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall, | |
| Cupid he rules us all. | |
| (20 second flute interlude) | |
| A rose will bloom, it then will fade. | |
| So does a youth. | |
| So does the fairest maid. |
| What is a youth? | |
| Impetuous fire. | |
| What is a maid? | |
| Ice and desire. | |
| The world wags on | |
| A rose will bloom, | |
| It then will fade | |
| So does a youth. | |
| So does the fairest maid. | |
| Comes a time when one sweet smile | |
| Has it' s season for awhile | |
| Then Love' s in love with me | |
| Some may think only to marry. | |
| Others will tease and tarry. | |
| Mine is the very best parry, | |
| Cupid he rules us all. | |
| Caper the caper sing me the song | |
| Death will come soon to hush us along | |
| Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall, | |
