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 oh hey nonny nonny 
hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonnie 
into a slumber then I fell when fond imagination 
seemed to see but could not tell her feature or her fashion 
but e'vn 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 oh hey nonny nonny 
hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonnie 
say man are you down for doing something positive in the community? 
no i don't think I'll ever do that again 
well ain't you worried about doing the right thing? 
well I don't care if I hey nonny nonny nonny ho nonny nonny nonny
