The phoenix cried fat tears of pearl When the dragon snapped up his best girl, And the Billywig forgot to twirl When his sweetheart left him cold, And the unicorn done lost his horn, And the Hippogriff feels all forlorn, 'Cause their lady loves have upped and gawn, Or that's what I've been told Yes, love has set the beasts astir, The dang'rous and the meek concur, It's ruffled feathers, fleece, and fur, 'Cause love drives all of us wild.
