I Am a Young Man
Alasdair Roberts

I am a young man that's inclined to seek pleasure,nInclined to seek pleasure, inclined to seek pride.nFlashing my finery, flashing my treasure,nSwaggering out in my livery tie.nnBut still I remember the things that you taught me,nA man will be armed, and will wear the King's crest,nAnd the weakness of the head is the jewel of a woman,nSo she shall repose with a babe at her breast.nnAnd I gave myself up to a governing passion,nStrutting around like some lord of misrule.nTaking delight in my rifle reporting,nFighting and sporting and playing the fool.nnI am a young man that's inclined to seek pleasure,nInclined to seek pleasure wherever I can.nSo Polly, my dear, don't come any nearer.nYou could not convincingly call me a man.nnAnd I gave myself up to a governing passion,nStrutting around like a lord of misrule.nTaking delight in my rifle reporting,nFighting and sporting and playing the fool.nI am a young man that's inclined to seek pleasure.
