Samuel Barber feat. Cheryl Studer & John Browning - Two Songs Op.18: Monks And Raisins - Allegro Lyrics

Lyrics Two Songs Op.18: Monks And Raisins - Allegro - Cheryl Studer & John Browning



I have observed pink monks eating blue raisins.
And I have observed blue monks eating pink raisins.
Studiously have I observed.
Now this is the way a pink monk eats a blue raisin;
Pink is he and it is blue and the pink swallows the blue.
I swear this is true.
And the way a blue monk eats a pink raisin is this:
Blue is he and it is pink and the blue swallows the pink.
I swear this is true.
Indeed I have observed and myself partaken of blue and pink raisins.
But my joy was different:
My joy was to see the blue and the pink counterpointing.
