[00:01.24]I have a tale but not a tail
[00:13.67]Like felius domesticum
[00:18.54]It's of a girl a real girl
[00:22.17]I'm calling by her real name
[00:27.13]And thus began
[00:33.34]A summer camp sonnet
[00:34.89]She saw a boy who would soon be
[00:40.10]A bee in her teenage bonnet
[00:42.87]Nina and her very long hair
[00:45.94]Held a torch that got her nowhere
[00:51.76]She hit him with a thunderbolt smile
[00:55.97]Every thing she had she threw
[00:58.33]Every dress and every shoe
[01:00.23]Nina and her very long hair
[01:04.49]Held a torch that got her nowhere
[01:08.75]As hard as she tried
[01:11.90]He never looked twice
[01:13.74]He never did see the light
[01:16.15]And end the plight of Nina
[01:19.15]Sometimes a film comes over me
[01:29.65]Like a cold cup of tea
[01:34.58]And I forget what I was set
[01:38.19]To snag and bag grab and seize
[01:45.21]At seventeen
[01:45.70]She was still reeling
[01:53.53]She went to camp
[01:55.19]With a comb and a tent
[01:57.02]And that same old feeling
[01:58.40]Nina and her very long hair
[02:03.74]Held a torch that got her nowhere
[02:07.86]She hit him with a thunderbolt smile
[02:12.12]Every thing she had she threw
[02:14.24]Every dress and every shoe
[02:16.25]Nina and her very long hair
[02:20.55]Held a torch that got her nowhere
[02:24.81]As hard as she tried
[02:27.98]He never looked twice
[02:29.94]He never did see the light
[02:32.19]And end the plight of Nina
[02:40.88]And so she snipped
[02:43.74]She cut and she clipped
[02:45.94]Enough to thatch a cottage roof
[02:47.61]And once she'd preened
[02:52.16]She glowed and she gleamed
[02:54.33]Off she set to make him swoon
[02:58.10]She was the girl with very short hair
[03:01.86]That got her nowhere
[03:04.97]
