lyrics

What maketh a man, what maketh a woman to worry?
Why wait 25 years after the hurt to cry?
What maketh the busy boy running for the bus to hurry?
Why can’t I dry the teardrop from your eye?

Please to worry, baby
Please to worry now, baby – I’ve done you wrong
Please to worry, baby
Please to worry – my love for you is strong

What profit it a worker to work all day without reason?
What maketh the money to fall down from the sky?
Who gave the gun to the child for the child to seize gun?
Why must we die and why, oh, why ask why?

Please to worry, baby
Please to worry now, baby – I’ve done you wrong
Please to worry, baby
Please to worry now, baby – my love is strong

Worry now, worry now
Worry now, worry now
One to worry, two to worry, three to worry
I tend to worry

What maketh a man, what maketh a woman to worry?
Why wait 25 years after the hurt to cry?
What maketh the busy boy running for the bus to hurry?
Why must we died and why, oh, why ask why?

Please to worry, baby
Please to worry now, baby – I’ve done you wrong
Please to worry, baby
Please to worry – my love for you is strong

Please to worry, baby
Please to worry now, baby – I’ve done you wrong
Please to worry, baby
Please to worry now, baby – my love is strong
