Weave-O




Weave-ee, Weave-oh

Busy weavers weave

Night & day, we toil away

Weave-ee... Weave-ee...



Peddling, treddling,

Muscles aching so



Racked with pain, we sweat & strain

Weave-ee, weave-ohhhh...



Gem... Oh, jewel

What luxury will buy for us

We're rich... Oh, joy

We're rich... Goodbye to gruel

It's steak & kidney pie for us

We're rich, my boy!

We're... -



Weave-ee...



Weave-oh...



Work is all we know

Work that vest & look what's left

Weaver,... Weave-hooo!



Gold!... Oh, glee

I'll have my heart's desire now

A paige & chefs & cooks!

Hard work... Not me

At last, I can retire now

What home, what chefs -



What books!



Books?

Mondays for your every dream

Nights in Spain, figs in cream!



How's a cottage by a stream?



Oh, hush

Hem... Go stitch...



Diamonds... (Twine that flax!)

Pearls... (Keep that bobbin rolling!)

Silver thread... (Don't relax! Move!)

And in solid sterling...

Ruby rings... (Hit that button!)

Turquoise... (Phooey, ain't worth nothin'...)

Beads of garnet, yellow cat's eye, amethyst &...

Hey, where was I?!



Weave-ee, Weave-oh...



Ya little snitch...
