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...
