When I was young and simple

I don't recall the date

I met a handsome captain of the guard

He visited my chambers

One evening rather late

In tandem with a husky Saint Bernard

At first I was astonished

And tears came to my eyes

But later when I asked him to resume

He said to my surprise

My dear it isn't wise

Where love is concerned one must freshen the bloom

Once yes once for a lark

Twice though loses the spark

One must never deny it

But after you try it

You vary the diet

Said my handsome young guard

Yes I know that it's hard

But no matter how nice

I never do anything twice

Unh unh unh unh unh unh unh

I think about the baron

Who came at my command

And proffered me a riding crop and chains

The evening that we shared

Was meticulously planned

He took the most extraordinary pains

He trembled with excitement

His cheeks were quite aglow

And afterword he cried to me encore

He pleaded with me so

To have another go

I murmured caressingly whatever for

Once yes once is a lark

Twice though loses the spark

Once yes once is delicious

But twice would be vicious

Or just repetitious

Someone's bound to be scarred

Yes I know that it's hard

But no matter the price

I never do anything twice

Unh unh unh unh unh unh unh

And then there was the abbot

Who worshipped at my feet

And dressed me in a wimple and in veils

He made a proposition

Which I found rather sweet

And handed me a hammer and some nails

In time we lay contented

And he began again

By fingering the beads around our waists

I whispered to him then

We'll have to say 'Amen'

For I had developed more catholic tastes

Once yes once for a lark

Twice though loses the spark

As I said to the abbot

I'll get in the habit

But not in the habit

You've my highest regard

And I know that it's hard

Still no matter the vice

I'd never do anything twice

All right everybody now

Once yes once can be nice

Love requires some spice

If you've something in view

Something to do totally new

I'll be there in a trice

But I never do anything twice

Except

No I never do anything twice
