The Lament of a Vanquished Beau + 

Willy is a silly boy, + 

Willy is a cad. + 

Willy is a foolish kid, + 

Sense he never had. + 

Yet all the girls like Willy⁠— + 

Why I cannot see⁠— + 

He even took my best girl + 

Right away from me. + 

I asked him did he want to fight, + 

But all he did was grin + 

And answer, “Don’t be guilty + 

Of such a brutal sin.” + 

Oh, Willy’s sure a silly boy, + 

He really is a cad, + 

Because he took the only girl + 

That I ’most ever had. + 

Her hair’s so long and pretty + 

And her eyes are very gay; + 

I guess that she likes Willy + 

’Cause he’s handsome, too, they say. + 

But for me, he’s not good looking; + 

And he sure has made me mad, + 

’Cause he went and took the only girl + 

That I ’most ever had. + 
