The Simple Joys of Maidenhood - Julie Andrews/Rex Harrison/Stanley Holloway

Saint Genevieve Saint Genevieve it's Guinevere remember me

Saint Genevieve Saint Genevieve I'm over here beneath this tree

You know how faithful and devout I am

You must admit I've always been a lamb

But Genevieve Saint Genevieve I won't obey you anymore

You've gone a bit too far

I won't be bid and bargained for like beads in a bazaar

Saint Genevieve I've run away eluded them and fled

And from now on I intend to pray to someone else instead

Oh Genevieve Saint Genevieve

Where were you when my youth was sold

Dear Genevieve sweet Genevieve

Shan't I be young before I'm old

Where are the simple joys of maidenhood

Where are all those adoring daring boys

Where's the knight pining so for me

He leaps to death in woe for me

Oh where are a maiden's simple joys

Shan't I have the normal life a maiden should

Shall I never be rescued in the wood

Shall two knights never tilt for me

And let their blood be split for me

Oh where are the simple joys of maidenhood

Shall I not be on a pedestal

Worshiped and competed for

Not be carried off or better still

Cause a little war

Where are the simple joys of maidenhood

Are those sweet gentle pleasures gone for good

Shall a feud not begin for me

Shall kith not kill their kin for me

Oh where are the trivial joys harmless convivial joys

Where are the simple joys of maidenhood
