The Simple Joys of Maidenhood - Julie Andrews
Written by：Alan Jay Lerner/Frederick Loewe
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
