Completely round is the perfect pearl the oyster manufactures.
Completely round is the steering wheel that leads to compound fractures.
Completely round is the golden fruit that hangs on the orange tree.
Yes, the circle shape is quite reknowned.
'Tis sad to say it can be found in the low-down dirty run around
My true love gave to me. Yes, my true love gave to me.
Completely square was the velvet box he said my ring would be in.
Completely square was the envelope he said farewell to me in.
Completely square was the handkerchief I burnish constantly.
As it dries my eyes of the tears I shed
And blows my nose 'til it turns bright red for a perfect square is my true love's head.
He will not marry me. No! He will not marry me.
Rectangular was the hotel door, my true love to sneak through.
Rectangular was the transom over which I had to peek through.
Rectangular was the hotel room I entered angrily.
Now rectangular was the wooden box
Where lies my love 'neath the golden flox. They say he died of the chicken pox.
In part, I must agree. One chick too many had he.
Triangular is the piece of pie I eat to ease my sorrow.
Triangular is the hatchet blade I plan to hide tomorrow.
Triangular the relationship that now has ceased to be,
And triangular is the garment thin that fastens on with a safety pin
To a prize I had no wish to win.
It's a lasting memory that my true love gave to me.
The Kingston Trio is an American musical group formed in 1957 in San Francisco, California. Composed of Dave Guard (vocals and guitar), Bob Shane (vocals and banjo), and Nick Reynolds (vocals and guitar), the trio made a significant contribution to the folk revival of the 1950s and 1960s. Their musical style was characterized by sophisticated harmonic arrangements, a mix of traditional American folk songs and original compositions, often with ironic or satirical lyrics. The Kingston Trio's success was enormous: they sold millions of records, had numerous chart hits, including "Tom Dooley", "M-T-M" and "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?", and were guests on popular television shows like "The Ed Sullivan Show". Their impact on the American music scene was significant, helping to spread folk music to a wider audience. After several lineup changes over the years, the group disbanded in 1967. Bob Shane continued to perform with a new formation of the Kingston Trio until his death in 2020.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
