Joy Has Left
To the tune of Boy For Sale from the movie, Oliver! I think the new lyrics fit the mournful tune of this song.
| New Lyrics | Original Lyrics |
| My joy, Joy has left. It's washed away - So much flotsam, jetsam. That or thereabouts. |
One boy, Boy for sale. He's going cheap. Only seven guineas. That or thereabouts. |
| My joy, Der'lict now From lack of prayer, Friendship that was so rare. Joy has drift away. |
Small boy, Rather pale From lack of sleep. Feed him gruel dinners; Stop him getting stout. |
| If I cry out, dear God, I am so needy, I should now, I feel battered, all alone. |
If I should say he wasn't very greedy, I could not, I'd be telling you a tale. |
| My joy Disappeared. It's like a ghost Never clearly seen. Oh, woe betides poor me! |
One boy, Boy for sale. Come take a peep. Have you ever seen As nice a boy for sale? |
