What is a youth? Impetuous fire. 
 What is a maid? Ice and desire. 
 The world wags on. 

 rose will bloom 
 It then will fade 
 So does a youth. 
 So do-o-o-oes the fairest maid. 
 [bad word] a time when one sweet smile 
 Has its season for a while...Then love's in love with me. 
 Some they think only to marry, Others will tease and tarry, 
 Mine is the very best parry. Cupid [bad word] us all. 
 Caper the cape, but sing me the song, 
 Death [bad word] soon to hush us along. 
 Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall. 
 Love is a task and it never will pall. 
 Sweeter than honey...and bitter as gall 
 Cupid [bad word] us all
