I Have a Song to Sing, O!
The jester Jack Point and his sweetheart, Elsie Maynard, arrive
at the Tower to entertain.



I have a song to sing, O!,
Sing me your song, O!
It is sung to the moon
By a lovelorn loon,
Who fled from the mocking throng, O!
It's the song of a merryman,
Moping mum,
Who's soul was sad,
And whose glance was glum,
Who sipped no sup,
And who craved no crumb,
As he sighed for the love of a ladye.
Heigh-dy! Heigh-dy!
Misery me, lack-a-day-dee!
He sipped no sup,
and he craved no crumb,
As he sighed for the love of a ladye!
