I have a tale but not a tail[00:00:01]
Like felius domesticum[00:00:13]
It's of a girl a real girl[00:00:18]
I'm calling by her real name[00:00:22]
And thus began[00:00:27]
A summer camp sonnet[00:00:33]
She saw a boy who would soon be[00:00:34]
A bee in her teenage bonnet[00:00:40]
Nina and her very long hair[00:00:42]
Held a torch that got her nowhere[00:00:45]
She hit him with a thunderbolt smile[00:00:51]
Every thing she had she threw[00:00:55]
Every dress and every shoe[00:00:58]
Nina and her very long hair[00:01:00]
Held a torch that got her nowhere[00:01:04]
As hard as she tried[00:01:08]
He never looked twice[00:01:11]
He never did see the light[00:01:13]
And end the plight of Nina[00:01:16]
Sometimes a film comes over me[00:01:19]
Like a cold cup of tea[00:01:29]
And I forget what I was set[00:01:34]
To snag and bag grab and seize[00:01:38]
At seventeen[00:01:45]
She was still reeling[00:01:45]
She went to camp[00:01:53]
With a comb and a tent[00:01:55]
And that same old feeling[00:01:57]
Nina and her very long hair[00:01:58]
Held a torch that got her nowhere[00:02:03]
She hit him with a thunderbolt smile[00:02:07]
Every thing she had she threw[00:02:12]
Every dress and every shoe[00:02:14]
Nina and her very long hair[00:02:16]
Held a torch that got her nowhere[00:02:20]
As hard as she tried[00:02:24]
He never looked twice[00:02:27]
He never did see the light[00:02:29]
And end the plight of Nina[00:02:32]
And so she snipped[00:02:40]
She cut and she clipped[00:02:43]
Enough to thatch a cottage roof[00:02:45]
And once she'd preened[00:02:47]
She glowed and she gleamed[00:02:52]
Off she set to make him swoon[00:02:54]
She was the girl with very short hair[00:02:58]
That got her nowhere[00:03:01]
