Gayly the troubadour Touched his guitar.
She wore a wreath of roses The first night that we met.
I've now got the music book ready, Do sit up and sing like a lady A recitative from Tancredi, And something about "Palpiti!" Sing forte when first you begin it, Piano the very next minute,
We met,—'twas in a crowd.
