Camelot movie - The Simple Joys of Maidenhood lyrics

rate me

Song by Julie Andrews<br /><br>

Where are the simple joys of maidenhood?<br>

Where are all those adoring daring boys?<br>

Where's the knight pining so for me<br>

he leaps to death in woe for me?<br>

Oh where are a maiden's simple joys?<br>

<br>

Shan't I have the normal life a maiden should?<br>

Shall I never be rescued in the wood?<br>

Shall two knights never tilt for me <br>

and let their blood be spilt for me?<br>

Oh where are the simple joys of maidenhood?<br>

<br>

Shall I not be on a pedestal, <br>

Worshipped and competed for?<br>

Not be carried off, or better st'll,<br>

Cause a little war?<br>

Where are the simple joys of maidenhood?<br>

<br>

Are those sweet, gentle pleasures gone for good?<br>

Shall a feud not begin for me?<br>

Shall kith not kill their kin for me?<br>

Oh where are the trivial joys?<br>

Harmless, convivial joys?<br>

Where are the simple joys of maidenhood?<br>

<br>
