Summer of 1353 (Live in London)

In the summer of 1353 As I sat beneath the willow tree I decided on that day to woo a lady I went to the florist and I said to she I need a flower for today I'll be A-woo woo woo-w-w-wooing a lady I'll hold this flower beneath her nose It should smell as sweet as a rose For this, she said, I'd recommend the rose For a rose-like scent, I'd probably go with the rose I said sounds like exactly what I need I'll take one of those I went to the tailor for to buy Some clothing of the latest style Which at the time were tights and pointy boots You know those greenish kind of tights and those Peter Pan-y kind of boots Really tight tights and Peter Pan-y boots to woo a lady I said to the hairdresser cut my hair He said I'll cut it like the page boys wear A really popular look with page boys now Just a straight line across the brow I'll get a ruler and some scissors and I'll do it for you right now Very hot look if you're trying to woo a lady I needed a horse so I went to the stable Stable man, would I be able To hire a horse from which to woo a lady He said there are three things that I must see One florin and two forms of ID I said alas, I have no ID on me Who even carries ID in 1353 I maketh not the rules, quoth he I had made a tapestry of me And said this is me in 1353 To prove that I was legitimate I had my mother write up a birth certificate It wasn't easy as she's illiterate But I really, really needed it To have this damn horse so that I may woo a lady I got a really massive horse so I could impress this lady For but a penny more a day, he did upgrade me Recorder solo From a hilltop a lady I did view And I knew exactly what to do The time had come for me to woo this lady And I said woooo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo you-oo woo woo woo woo woo woo you lady I said woo woo woo woo woo woo-hoo woo-hoo lady I am wooing you Woo w-w-woo woo woo this is how I woo a lady The lady then said unto me Sir, you can't woo me so easily It takes more than just going woo woo to woo a lady But I have a rose scented rose which they call a rose And I hold this rose beneath your nose I have a massive horse and the finest clothes All of these things I do to woo you lady She said, the horse is big and the tights are fun But the hairdo's a little 1351 In fact it makes you look a bit like a lady I swore as you approached, that you were a lady And that gigantic horse just emphasises that you look like a lady And I replied yes, yes I heard you the first time She said I am to be married to the king We are to be wed this coming spring And if you want my hand you'd have to challenge him To that thing on the horses with those pointy things You'll have to battle to the death with those things with the point eachother with those pointy things I said is that the time I must be on my way I'm late for a medieval play If it matters not to you, either way I'll just say that I wooed you anyway I'll just tell all my friends that I woo w-w-w-wooed you lady Because there's a wager in the village that I'd never woo a lady And I left going woooo woo woo woo woo woo woo I just wooed you Woo woo woo woo woo, this is how I woo a lady
