[00:00:02] Written by：Alan Lerner/Frederick Loewe

[00:00:05] Saint Genevieve Saint Genevieve it's Guinevere remember me

[00:00:12] Saint Genevieve Saint Genevieve I'm over here beneath this tree

[00:00:20] You know how faithful and devout I am

[00:00:24] You must admit I've always been a lamb

[00:00:27] But Genevieve Saint Genevieve I won't obey you anymore

[00:00:33] You've gone a bit too far

[00:00:35] I won't be bid and bargained for like beads in a bazaar

[00:00:38] Saint Genevieve I've run away eluded them and fled

[00:00:41] And from now on I intend to pray to someone else instead

[00:00:48] Oh Genevieve Saint Genevieve

[00:00:52] Where were you when my youth was sold

[00:00:56] Dear Genevieve sweet Genevieve

[00:01:00] Shan't I be young before I'm old

[00:01:13] Where are the simple joys of maidenhood

[00:01:18] Where are all those adoring daring boys

[00:01:24] Where's the knight pining so for me

[00:01:28] He leaps to death in woe for me

[00:01:31] Oh where are a maiden's simple joys

[00:01:37] Shan't I have the normal life a maiden should

[00:01:42] Shall I never be rescued in the wood

[00:01:49] Shall two knights never tilt for me

[00:01:52] And let their blood be split for me

[00:01:55] Oh where are the simple joys of maidenhood

[00:02:02] Shall I not be on a pedestal

[00:02:05] Worshiped and competed for

[00:02:08] Not be carried off or better still

[00:02:11] 'Cause a little war

[00:02:16] Where are the simple joys of maidenhood

[00:02:22] Are those sweet gentle pleasures gone for good

[00:02:28] Shall a feud not begin for me

[00:02:32] Shall kith not kill their kin for me

[00:02:35] Oh where are the trivial joys harmless convivial joys

[00:02:44] Where are the simple joys of maidenhood
