《Things Are Seldom What They Seem》歌词

[00:00:00] Things Are Seldom What They Seem - Henry A Lytton/George Baker

[00:00:04] Things are seldom what they seem

[00:00:07] Skim milk masquerades as cream

[00:00:10] Highlows pass as patent leathers

[00:00:13] Jackdaws strut in peacock's feathers

[00:00:16] Very true

[00:00:17] So they do

[00:00:20] Black sheep dwell in every fold

[00:00:23] All that glitters is not gold

[00:00:26] Storks turn out to be but logs

[00:00:29] Bulls are but inflated frogs

[00:00:32] So they be

[00:00:34] Frequently

[00:00:37] Drops the wind and stops the mill

[00:00:40] Turbot is ambitious brill

[00:00:42] Gild the farthing if you will

[00:00:45] Yet it is a farthing still

[00:00:48] Yes I know

[00:00:50] That is so

[00:00:51] Though to catch your drift I'm striving

[00:00:54] It is shady

[00:00:55] It is shady

[00:00:57] I don't see at what you're driving

[00:00:59] Mystic lady

[00:01:00] Mystic lady

[00:01:02] Stern conviction's over me stealing

[00:01:05] That the mystic lady's dealing

[00:01:08] In oracular revealing

[00:01:11] Yes I know

[00:01:13] That is so

[00:01:15] Though I'm anything but clever

[00:01:18] I could talk like that for ever

[00:01:21] Once a cat was killed by care

[00:01:23] Only brave deserve the fair

[00:01:26] Very true

[00:01:28] So they do

[00:01:31] Wink is often good as nod

[00:01:34] Spoils the child who spares the rod

[00:01:36] Thirsty lambs run foxy dangers

[00:01:39] Dogs are found in many mangers

[00:01:42] Frequently

[00:01:44] I agree

[00:01:47] Paw of cat the chestnut snatches

[00:01:49] Worn-out garments show new patches

[00:01:52] Only count the chick that hatches

[00:01:55] Men are grown-up catchy-catchies

[00:01:58] Yes I know

[00:01:59] That is so

[00:02:01] Though to catch my drift he's striving

[00:02:03] I'll dissemble

[00:02:05] I'll dissemble

[00:02:07] When he sees at what I'm driving

[00:02:09] Let him tremble

[00:02:10] Let him tremble

[00:02:12] Though a mystic tone you borrow

[00:02:15] I shall learn the truth with sorrow

[00:02:18] Here today and gone tomorrow

[00:02:21] Yes I know

[00:02:22] That is so

[00:02:23] Though a mystic tone you borrow

[00:02:26] I will learn the truth with sorrow

[00:02:29] Here today and gone tomorrow

[00:02:32] Yes I know

[00:02:34] That is so
