Things Are Seldom What They Seem - Henry A Lytton/George Baker[00:00:00]

Things are seldom what they seem[00:00:04]

Skim milk masquerades as cream[00:00:07]

Highlows pass as patent leathers[00:00:10]

Jackdaws strut in peacock's feathers[00:00:13]

Very true[00:00:16]

So they do[00:00:17]

Black sheep dwell in every fold[00:00:20]

All that glitters is not gold[00:00:23]

Storks turn out to be but logs[00:00:26]

Bulls are but inflated frogs[00:00:29]

So they be[00:00:32]

Frequently[00:00:34]

Drops the wind and stops the mill[00:00:37]

Turbot is ambitious brill[00:00:40]

Gild the farthing if you will[00:00:42]

Yet it is a farthing still[00:00:45]

Yes I know[00:00:48]

That is so[00:00:50]

Though to catch your drift I'm striving[00:00:51]

It is shady[00:00:54]

It is shady[00:00:55]

I don't see at what you're driving[00:00:57]

Mystic lady[00:00:59]

Mystic lady[00:01:00]

Stern conviction's over me stealing[00:01:02]

That the mystic lady's dealing[00:01:05]

In oracular revealing[00:01:08]

Yes I know[00:01:11]

That is so[00:01:13]

Though I'm anything but clever[00:01:15]

I could talk like that for ever[00:01:18]

Once a cat was killed by care[00:01:21]

Only brave deserve the fair[00:01:23]

Very true[00:01:26]

So they do[00:01:28]

Wink is often good as nod[00:01:31]

Spoils the child who spares the rod[00:01:34]

Thirsty lambs run foxy dangers[00:01:36]

Dogs are found in many mangers[00:01:39]

Frequently[00:01:42]

I agree[00:01:44]

Paw of cat the chestnut snatches[00:01:47]

Worn-out garments show new patches[00:01:49]

Only count the chick that hatches[00:01:52]

Men are grown-up catchy-catchies[00:01:55]

Yes I know[00:01:58]

That is so[00:01:59]

Though to catch my drift he's striving[00:02:01]

I'll dissemble[00:02:03]

I'll dissemble[00:02:05]

When he sees at what I'm driving[00:02:07]

Let him tremble[00:02:09]

Let him tremble[00:02:10]

Though a mystic tone you borrow[00:02:12]

I shall learn the truth with sorrow[00:02:15]

Here today and gone tomorrow[00:02:18]

Yes I know[00:02:21]

That is so[00:02:22]

Though a mystic tone you borrow[00:02:23]

I will learn the truth with sorrow[00:02:26]

Here today and gone tomorrow[00:02:29]

Yes I know[00:02:32]

That is so[00:02:34]
