There's a girl that I once knew Who often had a friend a friend or two She gave them time of wit and rhyme Sublime They would come from far away And often gather there all day To show their love And see which one would stay But to her it mattered not For loyalty was not her lot Her answer was for not for them To know There she goes on her marry way Though she's only queen for a day Boy and girl often take this world So you better mind what you say My advice to you my friend Is try to find what it's about And then you take into account your own Do not take some sugar in your mouth That may be sweet to you But bitter in your stomach Later on What is good for you may not be good for me So different strokes For different folks Could be a real good rule There she goes on her marry way Though she's only queen for a day Boy and girl often take this world So you better mind what you say Now it's time to bid adieu It's been a pleasure knowing you I'll see you when it's time to meet Again
