Here are the song words for you to learn forwards, backwards and upside-down by Friday.
Scarborough Fair
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there,
She once was a true love of mine.
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Without any seam or needlework,
Then she’ll be true love of mine.
Tell her to wash it in yonder dry well,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Where water ne’er sprung, nor drop of rain fell,
Then she’ll be true love of mine.
Tell her to dry it on yonder thorn,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Which never bore blossom since Adam was born,
Then she’ll be true love of mine.
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there,
She once was a true love of mine.
Lavender Blue
Great grandfather met grandmother when she was a shy young miss,
And great grandfather won great grandmother with words more or less like this.
Lavender blue dilly, dilly,
Lavender green;
If I were king, dilly, dilly,
I’d need a queen.
Who told me so, dilly, dilly
Who told me so?
I told myself, dilly, dilly,
I told me so.
If your dilly, dilly heart feels a dilly, dilly way
And if you’ll answer "yes",
In a pretty little church on a dilly, dilly day,
You’ll be wed in a dilly, dilly dress of…
Lavender blue dilly, dilly,
Lavender green,
Then I’ll be king, dilly, dilly,
And you’ll be my queen.
