Maureen Elkins - Forest Joke lyrics

Miss Maple dressed to go to town in scarlet scarf and golden crown, but then Sir Spruce admired her so that she couldn't bring herself to go and leave him sadly languishing there in his dapper suit of brilliant green, so she stayed and stood in pride serene on the crest of a hill where she could be seen. Admired by all who stopped to gaze rapturously at the gorgeous blaze of dazzling beauty there on the hill, she stood posed like this until the wind in a burst of ribald fun unpinned the scarf and draperies gay and with a lewd puff blew them away, leaving Miss Maple naked and bare and all the forest to sigh and stare.
