ho, billy o - chorus of opera north lyrics

[madrigal singer, spoken]
good evening
we would like to sing for you a modern madrigal entitled
“ho, billy o, the wind of spring is blowin'”

[madrigal singers]
hmm

oh, once upon the month of may
while strolling w*lly*nilly
and wondering how i’d pass the day
i met my good friend billy

ho, billy o
the wind of spring is blowing
ho, billy o
so tell me where you’re going

he looked at me and sadly said
“the world is idiotic
oh, faith is gone and love is dead
and worse, i am neurotic”

ho, billy o
the wind of spring is blowing
sing fa*la*la*la*la*la*la*la
and nowhere to be going
sing fa*la*la*la*la*la*la*la
the world is idiotic
sing fa*la*la*la*la*la*la*la
and billy is neurotic
[tenor soloist]
i said, “o billy, look at me
i’m overly aggressive
and doctors everywhere agree
i’m manic and depressive”

[madrigal singers]
ho, billy o
the wind of spring is blowing
ho, billy o
and nowhere to be going

[tenor soloist & other madrigal singers]
my father used to stay away (ho, billy o)
with home he’d never bother (ho, billy o)
and mother hit me twice a day (ho, billy o)
because i looked like father (ho, billy o)

[madrigal singers]
ho, billy o
the wind of spring is blowing
sing fa*la*la*la*la*la*la*la
and nowhere to be going
sing fa*la*la*la*la*la*la*la
what folly likes in thinking
sing fa*la*la*la*la*la*la*la
come, billy, let’s go drinking
so down we went (ay, down we went)
to a bar we knew (to a bare we knew)
and on the way (ay, on the way)
we met a lass named mary lou
we met a lass named mary lou
a lass that billy and i both knew
a lass that we knew through and through
fa*la*la*la, la*la*la, la*la*la*la
we knew her through and through

oh, sweet she was, i must admit
her dress all pink and frilly
she curtsied low and smiled a bit
and coyly said to billy

[“mary lou”]
ho, billy o
the wind of spring is blowin’
ho, billy o

[madrigal singers]
so tell me where you’re going

[“billy” & women]
said billy with a hopeless grin (la*la*la*la)
“the world is too chaotic (la*la*la*la)
the golden rule has turned to tin (la*la*la*la)
and worse, we’re both neurotic” (la*la*la)
[“mary lou” & men]
said she, “oh, billy, look at me (la*la*la*la)
i also am disgusted (la*la*la*la)
the doctors say that s*xually (la*la*la*la)
i’m very maladjusted” (la*la*la*la)

[madrigal singers]
ho, billy o
the wind of spring is blowing
sing fa*la*la*la*la*la*la*la
and nowhere to be going
sing fa*la*la*la*la*la*la*la
the world cannot be mastered
sing fa*la*la*la*la*la*la*la
come, billy, let’s get plastered

so went we three (so went we three)
to the club nineteen (to the club nineteen)
and on the way (ay, on the way)
we met a lass named geraldine
we met a lass named geraldine
a lass who lived in a mansion big
a lass we thought an awful pig
fa*la*la*la, la*la*la, la*la*la*la
she was an awful pig

oh, plump she was from head to toe
her figure very hilly
but come she did and curtsy low
and shyly say to billy

[“geraldine”]
ho, billy o
the wind of spring is blowing
ho, billy o

[madrigal singers]
so tell me where you’re going

[“billy” & women]
said billy, “child, we’re up the creek (la*la*la*la)
“the world is too despotic (la*la*la*la)
we’ve disinherited the meek (la*la*la*la)
and so we’re all neurotic” (la*la*la)

[“geraldine” & men]
said she, “oh, billy, look at me (la*la*la*la)
a pice of bad construction (la*la*la*la)
and what is more, subconsciously (la*la*la*la)
i’m bent on self*destruction” (la*la*la*la)

so on we went (ay, on we went)
we neurotic four (we neurotic four)
and drink we did (ay, drink we did)
’til we fell flat on the floor
’til we fell flat on the floor

then off to bed went we one and all
but whose we simply can’t recall
fa*la*la*la, la*la*la, la*la*la*la
we simply can’t recall (la*la*la*la)
fa*la*la*la*la*la*la (la*la*la*la)
fa*la*la*la*la*la*la (la*la*la*la)
fa*la*la*la*la*la*la (la*la*la*la)
fa*la*la*la*la*la (la*la*la*la)
la*la*la*la, la*la*la*la, la*la*la*la, la*la*la*la
la*la*la*la, la*la*la*la, la*la*la*la*la*la*la
ho, billy, ho, billy, ho, billy o!
the wind of spring is blowing (where in heaven)
the wind of spring is blowing (are we going? where in heaven)
the wind of spring blowing (are we going? fa*la*la*la)
fa*la*la*la, fa*la*la*la
