David Solomons - It was a lover and his lass (a modern madrigal) - текст песни (слова)

ring ding dong 
ring ding dong 
It was a lover and his lass in the spring time  
that through the city streets did pass in this ring time  
calling each other every minute or two  
texting in case they couldn't get through 
oh hearken to the lovers in the spring time!  
Between the supermarket aisles while they're shopping  
these pretty city folk would chat without stopping  
vainly the birds are welcoming spring with their song  
they'll wear themselves out e'er very long  
while lads and lasses never tire of ringing!  
Then one day when Romeo must text his Julietta  
just to say I luv ya yeah I luv ya so much  
but she rings back to tell him that it's all over 
she's met a nicer lad from Folkestone or Dover 
(It's all over it's all over, lad from Dover) 
so he just rings to all of his pals and calls her a slag!  
and all the people on the tram hear the show, while  
our pretty city folk live all on their mobile  
then suddenly the battery's flat as a skate  
and Romeo can not ring his mate  
he's sorry that he called her "slag" in spring time  
he can't ring her he can't ring his Julietta  
sorry now in spring.
