Lyrics, Part III

For William he's a widower

And I, alas, a widow

And if he said he loved me

I might in fact, say 'ditto.'

Serendipity's a friend

There's pleasure in not knowing

What you might find around the bend

Where e'er you may be going

[organica]

Lyrics, Part II

William Nilly, widower

Would waken in the night and weep

Missing Nelly, night or not

When wide-awake or in his sleep

Circumstance, and happenstance

And Willie Nilly knows not why

I salute, feel charmed to know him

Every time he passes by

[organica]

Lyrics, Part I William D. H. Nilly Yes, he's a friend of mine I never know quite when I'll see him, But to see him is divine William Nilly married Nelly Nelly Nilly three tikes bore Nelson, Ned, and Will the 2nd But on her way to number four She slipped and fell upon a hillside "William Nilly!" Nelly cried "Darling, I have always loved you" Then she gasped her last and died
