Edna St Vincent, Edna St Vincent
Edna St Vincent Millay;
Burning the candle with both ends alight
And still shining bright today.
O St Vincent, Island St Vincent
We’re going there today;
Pack up a picnic and chill the white wine
O what a beautiful bay!
Café St Vincent, Café St Vincent
Café au lait s’il vous plait;
Lovers and artists sharing delights
In St Germain des Pres.
Four Saint Vincents, four Saint Vincents
Gentle and wise they say;
Lerins, Zaragoza, Ferrer, de Paul
God bless the Saint Vincents today.
Mary Ann Vincent, Mary Ann Vincent
She moved to the States in May;
The best Mrs Malaprop that ever was seen
In Boston, USA.
O Gene Vincent, sweet Gene Vincent
From North Carolina, VA;
Still rocking in heaven and bringing it down
With Be Bop A Lula today.
Christopher Vincent, Christopher Vincent
What will the critics say?
There but for one word of love?
God bless George Barker today.
Edna St Vincent, Edna St Vincent
Edna St Vincent Millay;
Do not go down to the end of the town
Without rhyming couplets today.
