Song Lyrics

"Hey Nonny Nonny"

by Ghoti Hook
Album: Songs We Didn't Write

Beauty sat bathing by a spring where fairest shades did hide her,
The winds blew calm, the birds did sing, the cool streams ran beside her,
My wanton thoughts enticed mine eye to see what was forbidden,
But better memory said, "Fie," so vain desire was chidden.

Hey nonny-nonny, hey nonny-nonny,
Hey nonny non, oh, hey nonny-nonny,
Hey nonny-nonny, hey nonny-nonny,
Hey nonny non, oh, hey nonny-nonny.

Into a slumber then I fell,
When fond imagination seemed to see, but could not tell her feature or her fashion,
But, even as babes in dreams do smile and sometimes fall a-weeping, so I awaked as wise this while as when I fell a-sleeping.

Hey nonny-nonny, hey nonny-nonny,
Hey nonny non, oh, hey nonny-nonny,
Hey nonny-nonny, hey nonny-nonny,
Hey nonny non, oh, hey nonny-nonny.

Say, man, are you down for doing something positive in the community'
Well, not really
Well, ain't you worried about doing the right thing'
Well, I don't really care, so whatever.

Beauty sat bathing by a spring where fairest shades did hide her,
The winds blew calm, the birds did sing, the cool streams ran beside her,
My wanton thoughts enticed mine eye to see what was forbidden,
But better memory said, "Fie," so vain desire was chidden.

Hey nonny-nonny, hey nonny-nonny,
Hey nonny non, oh, hey nonny-nonny,
Hey nonny-nonny, hey nonny-nonny,
Hey nonny non, oh, hey nonny-nonny.

Hey nonny-nonny, oh, (hey nonny-nonny, oh)
Oh, nonny-nonny, (oh, nonny-nonny)
Hey nonny-nonny, (hey nonny-nonny)
Oh, nonny. (oh, nonny)
