Once, there were two knights and maidens They'd walked together Out in the gardens In all kinds of weather The knights always pestered the maidens To love them together Out in the gardens And they could watch each other The maidens had other plans for the two knights They'd give them potions Make them see dreams and lights The knights took the potions gladly They laughed at their visions But outside the garden Tigers smelled them together The maidens had other plans for the two knights They'd give them potions Make them see dreams of lights The knights only laughed at the tigers They thought they were visions Out in the garden The maidens watched them together Ah, but for the two knights Ah, but for maidens Who gave to them dreams and lights
