Oh, I have seen the strong turn frail   Insufficiency turn their once proud cheeks pale   And, I have seen the fruitless love   Of the cygnets down the bay   And how the younger make their way   With a little   Help from their friends      And I, I have heard of how   The cygnets cry   -I wonder how,   How to make her cry that way   -Oh say, can I make you shake,   Like cygnets shake,   When cygnets break?   -Can it ever be the same?      Oh, it is still not long ago   Oh that I believed in wages of sin and so   And she, such a wicked androgyne   So maybe should I strike her on her chin   Or should I cut her head in two...   -Yeah, that’s what I ought to do      Cause I, I have heard of how   The cygnets cry   -I wonder how,   How to make her cry that way   -Oh say, can I make you shake,   Like cygnets shake,   When cygnets break?   -Can it ever be the same?      Cause I, I have heard the sound..      But,   When she leans against my shoulder,   I know nothing can be stronger   So I don’t see why I worry   -I just can’t stand the thought   Of that sound...that sound      Oh but hey,   Hey, I saw her yesterday   And I never felt my heart take a leap that way   Oh now,   I must no more waste my time   Now I’m gonna push it up her spine   I’m gonna make her weep and whine   -All because I love her      ‘Cause I, I have heard of how   The cygnets cry   -I wonder how,   How to make her cry that way   -Oh say, can I make you shake,   Like cygnets shake,   When cygnets break?   -Can it ever be the same?      ‘Cause I, I have heard the sound..
