What Do the Simple Folk Do? (Remaster) - Julie Andrews/Richard Burton
Written by：Frederick Loewe
What do the simple folk do
To help them escape when they're blue
The shepard who is ailing the milkmaid who is glum
The cobbler who is wailing from nailing his thumb
When they're beset and besieged
The folk not noblessly obliged
However do they manage to shed their weary lot
Oh what
Do simple folk do
We do not
I have been informed
By those know them well
They find relief in quite a clever way
When they sorely pressed
They whistle for a spell
And whistling seems to brighten up their day
And that's
What simple folk do
So they say
They whistle
So they say
What else do the simple folk do
To pluck up the heart and get through
The wee folk and the grown folk
Who wander to and fro
Have ways known to their own folk
We throne folk don't know
When all the doldrums begin
What keeps each of them in his skin
What ancient native custom provides the needed glow
Oh what
Do simple folk do
Do you know
Once upon the road
I came upon a lad
Singing in a voice three times his size
When I asked him why
He told me he was sad
And singing always made his spirits rise
And that's
What simple folk do
I surmise
They'v sing
I surmise
Arise my love arise my love
Apollo's lighting the skies my love
The meadows shine with columbine
And daffodils blossom away
Hear Venus call to one and all
Come taste delight while you may
The world is bright and all is right
And life is merry and gay
What else do the simple folk do
They must have a system or two
They obviously outshine us at turning tears to mirth
And tricks a royal highness is minus from birth
What then I wonder do they
To chase all the goblins away
They have some tribal sorcery you haven't mentioned yet
Oh what
Do simple folk do to forget
Often I am told
They dance fiery dance
And whirl 'till they're completely uncontrolled
Soon the mind is blank
And oh they're in a trance
A violent trance astounding to behold
And that's
What simple folk do
So I told
They dance a fair
False to my now
What else do the simple folk do
To help them escape when they're blue
They sit around and wonder
What royal folk would do
And that's
What simple folk do
Oh no really
I have on the best authority
Yes that's
What simple folk do
