Poor Hum.

Hey Hum, take this sum,

Don’t throw it away like a useless gum.

.

Hey Hum, to market you go,

Promise not to sway near any show.

.

Hum, you buy a drum,

Bring it back home without acting dumb.

.

Hum Hum, the drum you play,

Entertain the mob on my wedding day.

.

Hum, I know your heart,

I do understand you are crying apart.

.

Hum, I know you love me,

Amidst the celebration I saw you gloomy.

.

But Hum, you are a servant’s son,

Don’t create a fuss, your place you learn.

.

See Hum, my fiancé is rich,

He rules from the palace, you lay in the ditch.

.

So Hum, I am sorry for the crime,

All that was just to pass the time.

.

And Hum, forget all the talks,

I no love you anymore, forget all long walks.

.

Poor Hum, just take this sum,

Do as I say, without acting dumb.
