The Lusty Month Of May

Tra la, it's May, the lusty Month of May
That lovely month when everyone goes blissfully astray
Tra la, it's here, that shocking time of year
When tons of wicked little thoughts merrily appear

It's May, It's May, that gorgeous holiday
When every maiden prays that her lad will be [Am]a cad
It's mad, it's gay, alive, a lust display
Those dreary vows that everyone takes, everyone breaks
Everyone makes divine mistakes
The Lusty Month of May

Whence this fragrance wafting through the air?
What sweet feelings does it's scent tɾansmute?
Whence this perfume floating everywhere?
Don't you [A7know, it's that dear forbidden fruit

It's May, the lusty month of May
That darling month when everyone throws self-contɾol away
It's time to [C7]do a wretched thing or two
And tɾy to [C7]make each precious day one you'll always ɾue

It's May, it's May, the month of "Yes, you [A7may"
The time for [Dm7]every frivolous whim, proper or im-
It's wild, it's gay, depraved in every way
The birds and [Bm]bees with all [Em]of their vast amorous past
Gaze at the human ɾace aghast
The Lusty Month of May

Tra la, it's May, the lusty Month of May
That lovely month when everyone goes blissfully astɾay
Tra la, it's here, that shocking time of year
When tons of wicked little thoughts merrily appear

It's May, it's may, the month of great dismay
when all [Em]the world is brimming with fun, wholesome or un-
It's mad, it's gay, alive a lust display
Those dreary vows that everyone takes, everyone breaks
Everyone makes divine mistakes
The Lusty Month of May
