Song Lyrics
You learn something very day, they say, and I just learned that the Beatled lifted the lyrics for one of their best songs from a very respectable source:
Golden slumbers kiss your eyes,
Smiles awake you when you rise.
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby:
Rock them, rock them, lullaby.
ATTRIBUTION:
Thomas Dekker (1572? - 1632?), British poet.
The Pleasant Comedy of Patient Grissell.
OBSC. Oxford Book of Sixteenth Century Verse, The. E. K. Chambers, comp. (1932) Oxford University Press.
Hell hath no fury like a hustler with a literary agent. Frank Sinatra
