The Lament of a Vanquished Beau Willy is a silly boy, Willy is a cad. Willy is a foolish kid, Sense he never had. Yet all the girls like Willy⁠— Why I cannot see⁠— He even took my best girl Right away from me. I asked him did he want to fight, But all he did was grin And answer, “Don’t be guilty Of such a brutal sin.” Oh, Willy’s sure a silly boy, He really is a cad, Because he took the only girl That I ’most ever had. Her hair’s so long and pretty And her eyes are very gay; I guess that she likes Willy ’Cause he’s handsome, too, they say. But for me, he’s not good looking; And he sure has made me mad, ’Cause he went and took the only girl That I ’most ever had.
