25 Short Steps
O, it is only 25 short steps,
For you to take your feet,
To reach the blue bell.
Don’t turn away from your path,
Nor have you looked back, son;
Go straight ahead. Just there.
There at the majestic blue bell,
We all will be meeting you,
To listen to its divine sound.
O come on, do not be nervous,
What you’re going to do is simple;
Walk, listen. Then say: yes, I do.
That’s all; can you do that, son?
Yes, I can do these 25 short steps,
Thou, I’m really nervous. I sweat.
But, knowing your loaded shotgun,
Pointing at my back scares me a lot,
Than taking your princess to a vow.
